So Far Away ( I'm coming home)

So far away,
so far away,
so far away,
from me.

I climbed over your mountain.
I touched the sun.
I am filled with emotion,
I've come undone....you see...

That I'm split down the middle now,
I've climbed through the riddle somehow,
I've got to get back to our dream.

Right now, I'm flying to a better place,
If I, could, just only see your face,
I can hardly breathe.

I am over your ocean.
What have I done?
I am filled with devotion,
I've just begun...to see...

That I'm split down the middle now,
I've climbed through the riddle somehow,
I've got to get back to our dreams.

Right now, I'm flying to a better place,
If I, could, only just see your face,
I can hardly breathe.

I am coming home.
I'm coming home.

Will you still know me now...
Will you still show me how...
That your still the girl of my dreams.

Will you still be the same...
Will you still remember my name...
Cause I'm not the man I used to be.

I am coming home.
I'm coming home.

And you are...So far away.
So far away.
So far away,
from me....

I have noticed a recurring theme of distance (literal and metaphorical) , melancholy and the desire to return to a place of love in your lyrics. I appreciate this because as a reader (listener) we know that you as a songwriter are telling us about your feelings and not just making up a storyline. I find that in music when personal and real emotions are forged into song they usually come acroos far more intensely and beautifully...just like this :)

I am curious to know the significance of being split through the middle. I wasn't sure how to interpret that line in the context of the stanza...

this was really nice. showed your emotions, and it is so frustrating to be so far away from the one you so desire and love? i'm sure this makes for a great song.

Scotty, babe, this is really damn good. I can easily picture this softly sung, sadly, longing for that one woman. Beautiful work. Keep it up, it keeps getting better and better. Especially love these lines...

Will you still be the same...
Will you still remember my name...
Cause I'm not the man I used to be.

...beautiful heart felt words. :)
