The neon sign flashes,

Leaves its mark against the wall

The TV is silent

And will stay that way until dawn

The sheets are so cold,

The telephone is dumb

And I'm so very far from my home



In the dark I hear a siren

It screams across the night

Someone else is in trouble

I am not the only one

The cigarette glows,

I'm all alone

And I'm so very far from my home

I would leave here tomorrow

But I know I've got to stay

If only you were here with me

I'm holding on to every memory, memory

Memory, memory, memory, memory



It is four o'clock in the morning,

The sun begins to rise

Another day I have to face,

Baby, I'm so dissatisfied

Breakfast is served

The morning news is heard

And I'm so very far from my home

Yes, I'm so very far from my home

Yes, I'm so very far from my home

So very

Well, I'm so very far, far away from home

So very
