All the world is sad and lonely now Everywhere I roam (roam, roam, roam) Keep on telling you my darlin' (darlin') How my heart is going sad (so sad) So sad and lonely Because I'm so far (so far) So far from my folks back home, yeah Do you know way down

I felt so free Where I wanted to be The days went so fast How I wish they could last So far from my homeland I´m lost in time For that peace of mind Those sacred landscapes Come miles around

It almost feels like it was just a dream All these memories of you and me So far from home Brave enough to take this road Out on my own Blown away in the summer breeze It almost feels like we just never were All the time we spent was just a blur

All the same we take our chances Laughed at by time Tricked by circumstances Plus ca change Plus c'est la meme chose The more that things change The more they stay the same A boy alone, so far from home Endless rooftops from my window

Oh oh oh oh ho oh Happy alone Sharing a smile So far from home I want in like a substitute I've been working awful hard for you But you don't say, you just hold your breath So I can't touch what I haven't yet She's a cold one and it hurts me so

Far, far from the fame, far away from the fame But we still remember your name, Karel Janoušek! We mourn the day that you died So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride Home, siblings sent to their death His wife paid the ultimate price Still, as the war

This is my promise to write to you So for you my every word Is the sinking feeling here in my chest I am so far from home but the further away we are the closer I am The closer I feel, the further you get My hands hold on tight to your every word I won't

And oh my God, I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home It don't matter to me 'Cause all I wanted to be Somewhere more familiar Was a million miles from here Time on your side that will never end The most beautiful thing you can ever

Tomorrow will take us away Far from home No one will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Now you all know The bards and their songs When hours have gone by I'll close my eyes

I'm the king of the night time world And you're my headlight queen Come live your secret dream I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king It's so sad, livin' at home Far from the city and the midnight fun It's so bad, goin' to school So far
