Lyrics:

I had a chance to think
Since you've been away
I've been down everything on my mind
Concerning you and I and our love
My feelings all seem to lead back
To that same old thought
That is 'I love you and I really can't do without you'
But when you're gone, sometimes I feel like loving another

When you're far away
I can't get close to you
I don't feel wanted and secure
When you're far away
There's no one else around
To love me boy, I need you here
Come close to me
(Want you baby, won't stay here with me)

My love is you is strong
But it can't make up for the distance
That you put between us when you leave
Each time you go
I wanna beg you to stay or take me with you
Life is much to short
To be waiting around for you to be with me
Don't you understand that I want you
(And I know that you want me)
But when you're gone
It doesn't seem to help my feelings

(2x)
When you're far away
When you're far away

(3x)
