Faraway Eyes Lyrics by Erik Turner, Hollywood Underground

Demos for Diehards

1996

[Intro]
\nMh-hm, yeah
\n
\n[Verse 1]
\nYou and me, along time ago
\nAlways meant to be, but you wouldn't know
\nThe world was there to see
\nA long, long, windin' road, all alone
\nA long, windin' road, yeah
\n
\n[Pre-Chorus
\nMh, that day you were tryin'
\nHold back the tears, sayin' goodbye
\nI coulda held you more often
\nTold you the truth instead of sweet lies
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nOh, faraway eyes
\nAnd I was miles from home when I realized
\nYeah, the price that I paid
\nI see every mistake that I made
\nWhen I look in your faraway
\n
\n[Verse 2)
\nYeah, so I left and went for miles
\nFrom sea to sea
\nWhile I burned the midnight oil, babe
\nYou were restless in your sleep
\n
\n[Pre-Chorus]
\nWho's right or wrong
\nIs a very hard thing to decide
\nI coulda held you more often
\nTold you the truth instead of sweet lies
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nOh, faraway eyes
\nI was miles from home when I realized
\nOh, the price that I paid
\nI see every mistake that I made
\nWhen I look your faraway eyes, yeah
\n
\n[Guitar Solo]
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nWell, you and me, a long time ago
\nIt was always meant to be, but you wouldn't know
\nI coulda held you more often
\nTold you the truth instead of sweet lies
\nNow that I'm home, babe
\nI'll never give up 'til the day that I die
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nOh, faraway eyes
\nI was miles from home when I realized
\nOh, the price that I paid
\nI see every mistake that I made
\nWhen I look your faraway eyes
\nWhen I look in your faraway eyes
\n
\n[Instrumental Outro]\n\n
