Lyrics

Very Far From Home

I don't know where I go

When I go

I only know it's very far from home

And I don't know where you are

Either

But I know you're very far from home

I long for you; I see you in my dreams

So clearly

But when I wake up, I'm alone and I don't know where you've gone

But I know it's very far from home

No one knows where I go

When I go

Oh, they don't know I'm so far from home

And it's my fault

That you got lost

Oh, let me create something

Other than trouble

Oh, let me find you

Let me mind you

Even if it has to be

Very far from home

I long for you; I see you in my dreams

So clearly

But when I wake up, I'm alone and I don't know where you've gone

But I know it's very far from home

(Oooh)

It's very far from home

(Oooh)

(Oooh)

(Oooh)

The cover carries personal weight through Nash's dual British-Irish heritage. And a tin whistle.
