Far Away Robert Cray

I looked far away
I looked way into the future
What I saw was you not here with me

And when I looked inside for an answer, honey
I just knew that I had to be free

What I have to say
What I have to say I know will hurt you
After years of love
It's hard to understand

No, that I'm not leavin' for anyone else, honey
I need to know just who I am

If it's all right with you
I'll just excuse myself

Gather up my things
Leave the keys on the shelf
I'll come back in the morning
When the kids awake

To tell them daddy had to go away

I'm going far away
Nothing lasts forever
I'm going far from where I used to be
I remember that young couple at the chapel
It all seems like a dream to me
