Is Nowhere Far Away Anymore? Lyrics - Singles - Land Lovers

I was looking through the dormer window 

At my children's children in the neighbours' garden 

And knowing then that they would soon discover 

How slow and abject was their father's father 

At other points in life, I'd thought of moving somewhere beautiful 

Where everyday existence didn't taunt me through a terminal 

But always I'd say, "It's too late" 

So douse me, douse me, douse me, douse me 

With the blood of Patagonians 

I'm tired of this life, you see 

Where everything I do is scrutinised 

Scrutinised like public money 

Or the hands of sex offenders 

I'm going where there's only peace and quiet for a fella 

Somewhere that hasn't fallen to the kids of IT Tallaght 

A wilderness that's crying out for one man to adore 

Is nowhere far away anymore? 

Blind me, blind me, blind me, blind me 

With the sun of Anatolia 

I've no connection to my family 

But everything I do they scrutinise 

Scrutinise like private photos 

On the screens of jealous boyfriends 

I'm stubbornly intractable, attracted to a mission 

Until I'm ex-ed in exile, I'll be buried in revision 

And gravely do I go amongst the dead who must explore 

Is nowhere far away anymore? 

Always I'd say, "It's too late" 

Always I'd say, "It's too late"
