So Long, So Far
Words and Music by J. Ryan

You ask me to wait for you
Just something that you had to do
To take a break and find your way
A new place on your own

You wouldn’t say how long
Insisted nothing's wrong
But all my doubts come flooding out
To drown me once again

Chorus:
So long, so far away (don’t let it be forever)
Somehow, I hope, someday (maybe you’ll be right there)

So now I sit and stare
When nothing’s even there
Is this heart of mine just wasting time
On something it can’t change?

Chorus

It may be forever
But that seems so long
Maybe tomorrow you’ll be right there
And none of this will matter
But I can’t chase dreams
Where nothing’s as it seems
But to live somehow in the here and now
Is more than I can take

Chorus 2x

So long, so far away
So long--
