Far away, far away
It's no funny story
Someday, take me, come and take me away
To the trees, to the trees, I will hide so no one sees
You must go there alone, come and find me on your own

Hold my hands, understand, and I'll meet all your demands
Fingers hold, fingers loose, fingers able to seduce
Ringing bells, under spells, in a place where no one yells
You must go there alone, come and find me on your own

No one knows, made no show, we are really here alone
Broken voice made it's choice as it rings out in rejoice
There are two— there is one broken shadow on the ground
I must go there alone, this is something that you know

Strangers falling in love, ignorant to what's told of
Watch and wait; stay and pray to the flowers on the gate
"Somehow, I can't reach." But I'm sure if you try
You must go there alone, the next time on your own

Far away, far away
It's no funny story
Someday, take me, come and take me away
To the trees, to the trees, I will hide so no one sees
You must go there alone, come and find me on your own

But since then, I have walked, I have seen and learned and talked
Worn it out, inside-out, I speak and I scream and shout
I am downcast, alone, inside of a golden room
I was so used to you but now I'm alone

Fallen deep in the trees, hidden so well no one sees
A fruit gone black; it's been dead, held by dirt and soot and sand
That's just it. That is all. This story, it is done
You must go there alone, you won't find me, I'll be gone
