Far Away (Desert-Bound Blues)

Today I'm leaving you
   I cannot stay, It's getting late
      And though I hate to go
         I have to leave, the hours won't wait.

It's pointless now to ask
   Why do we ever have to part
      This is our kind of life
         And we've known this right from the start.

Far away I'm going, for long I will be gone
Far away I'm heading, I'll miss you treasured one.

There's sadness in your eyes
   Oh, love, there's sorrow in your smile
      I'd love to hold you tight
         Just once before I start a mile.

Now take care, dear, sleep well
   I'll be okay, I'll be alright
      Until that day when we 
         Won't have to part comes warm and bright.
