[Verse 1]

In the shade, I hear voices calling from

Far away, beckoning me to the sun

I will stay buried 'neath the summer heat

[Chorus]

Far away, I wait

Far away, I wait

[Verse 2]

In the shade, I hear echoes howling from

Far away, warning me before the storm

I will stay sheltered from the pelting rain

[Chorus]

Far away, I wait

Far away, I wait

[Bridge]

Here, I'll drink where the air the sweet

Here, I'll lie 'til the water's high

[Chorus]

Far away, I'll die
