Lyrics

Never Far Away

Walking home to you

Walking home to you

I'm talking through my wounds that I'm bleeding out for you

Talking through my wounds

Walking home to you

I listen when I can

I listen when I can

To this picture of you I carry in my hand

Lets me hear you say

You're never far away

And the dirt beneath my heels in the road

Obeys commands from me and serves me as I go

And though it helps to know you're never far away

I can't help wondering how you might feel about me today

Ada let me know

Ada let me know

Will you want me back or is it better if I go?

Will you want me back?

Ada let me know

That Carolina wind

Carolina wind

It blows in my eyes and makes me realize

The trouble that I'm in

Carolina Wind

And the dirt beneath my heels in the road

Obeys commands from me and serves me as I go

And though it helps to know you're never far away

I can't help wondering how you might feel about me today

You'll see me in a dream

You'll see me in a dream

You'll see me in a dream across a mountain stream

And you will hear me say

You're never far away

You're never far away

Never far away
