Far And Away Lyrics - Down By Law

well I wish every day was a Friday night 

with a long weekend straight ahead 

and we all lived in shining castles 

and there was no such word as dead 

but reality's harsh and we're all going to die 

no one's come back lately to tell us otherwise 

so grin and bear it and enjoy what you can 

cause too many castles are built out of sand 

and there's never enough to go around anyway 

i'm far and away 

you spend so many nights wishing on a star 

til a cold wind reminds you that you're just right where you are 

you try to avoid it, focus on what's real 

but when the dollar is king, it's hard not to kneel 

and we all live life wanting more and more 

everyone's a player and everyone keeps score 

and television with one-way vision 

shows you all the things that you haven't got 

i'm far and away 

you can't sound the retreat 

when it's out in the street 

it's all around you, it's everywhere you go
