Lyrics

From the marshes of Louisiana
To the san francisco bay
So many paths before us
As We make our way

Drove the hills of California
Rode the waves of Laguna bay
Surfed a ton of miles
The memories fade away

It was many years ago
When we were young and free
A life spread before us
Under the willow tree

Her face was close to mine
Her body oh so fine
You know she smelled of roses
And of all things divine

We tried to picture paradise
But it would float away
Like the mists in the morning and the sunrise
Of every passing day
Passing day
So Far away

She left one fateful day
There was nothing I could say
Her daddy was working in a coal mine
And died an unfortunate way

And Not a day goes by
I think of her all the time
Wondering where her life has led
And if she thinks of mine

We tried to picture paradise
But it would float away
Like the mists in the morning and the sunrise
Of every passing day
Passing day
So far away

From the mountains of Colorado
To the hills of San Antone
Many a mile lies between us
Baby, please pick up the phone

We tried to picture paradise
But it would float away
Like the mists in the morning and the sunrise
Of every passing day
Passing day
So far away

Well we tried to picture paradise
But it would float away
Like the mists in the morning and the sunrise
Of every passing day
Passing day
So Far away
So Far away
So Far away.
