*Lyrics*

Here I am again in this mean old town
And you're so far away from me
And where are you when the sun goes down
You're so far away from me

So far away from me
So far i just can't see
So far away from me
You're so far away from me

I'm tired of being in love and being all alone
When you're so far away from me
I'm tired of making out on the telephone
And you're so far away from me

So far away from me
So far i just can't see
So far away from me
You're so far away from me

And I get so tired when I have to explain
When you're so far away from me
See you've been in the sun and I've been in the rain
And you're so far away from me

So far away from me
So far i just can't see
So far away from me
You're so far away from me

I have been listening to these songs so much in the last 4 years and it brings back such memories of when I was growing up and I have been posting songs on Facebook and making replies to the music I listen to so I don't want people to forget the great tunes that brought us to today.

Mark Knoepfler is one of the most under rated guitar players, singers and song writers of all time. Never seemed to get the respect and credit he deserves. Man's a genius.

Simply wonderful. Exquisite guitar, soulfully written.

The Love of My Life is still So Far Away from Me in 2024..

[okwobenemeka]

Bob Dylan influence finally spotted in this one

[BenjaminPozniak]

Of course, this melodious music should really suit grandpa Jürgen (by Petra's house).

[McCracken]

I like how half of the song is an outro. Why not.

[PiraticalBob]

Looks like most of the comments are gone - - did it get taken down and resubmitted?
