Far in the Far Away Lyrics by Jim Lauderdale

Patchwork River

2010

[Verse 1]
Far in the far away
Days that used to be
The coming days that never were
But might have been
These are the missing days
We could have been wed
Could have loved one another
And raised our kids
[Chorus 1]
Instead of living apart
Torn up with regret
Living with strangers
We haven't met
[Verse 2]
Way down in the down-along
The briar path with Ramblin' Rose
Air like frankincense or myrrh
And some of gold
Days that could have been
Might have been but never were
Things just didn't work that way
I don't know why for sure
[Chorus 2]
Instead we live apart
Torn up with regret
Living with strangers
We haven't met
[Verse 3]
We are not who we were
We can't go back again
Back to that vanished year
Back to the might have been
These are the days
We must live instead
Each gone our separate ways
Wondering how it might have been
[Chorus 3]
While we both live apart
Torn up with regret
Living with strangers
We haven't met
[Outro]
Living apart learning to forget
Our both loving others we haven't met
Far in the far away
