Subject: Lyrics remembered From: GUEST,Gerry Wildenberg Date: 15 Aug 01 - 03:51 PM Recently I've been trying to locate a song some of who's lyrics and tune I remember clearly but for which a search of the web has been ineffectual. I thought this was a Joni Mitchell song but searching a lyrics web site didn't help. Any help would be appreciated. The lyrics I remember: She's far away, she's far away, in her granny's house in Kansas, watching for tornadoes in the sky. Gratefully, Gerry Wildenberg |

Subject: RE: Lyrics remembered From: SINSULL Date: 15 Aug 01 - 10:21 PM It seems to be about Dorothy (Wizard Of Oz) or maybe Judy Garland. Does that help? |
Subject: RE: Lyrics remembered From: Sorcha Date: 15 Aug 01 - 10:42 PM Yea, sort of, but Dorothy was at her Auntie Em's house, not grandma's. |
Subject: RE: Lyrics remembered From: GUEST,Gerry Wildenberg Date: 16 Aug 01 - 09:22 AM I now think the lyrics I recall are from a Tom Paxton song: She's Far Away.

Subject: LYRIC ADD She's Far Away by T Paxton. From: GUEST,999 Date: 16 Sep 12 - 11:05 AM She's Far Away Words and Music by Tom Paxton She's far away. She will stay, Through the darkest seasons. Feeling lost, feeling frost. Leafing through her reasons. She will go to Woodstock, She will hitch a ride, Army surplus knapsack With some paperbacks inside. But 'til then she's far away, She's at her granny's house in Kansas, Watching for tornados in the sky. She's far away. She will play, On her cousin's cello. She'll escape, she will scrape, Parts of Mellow Yellow. She will find the music, Deep inside the wood. Lying down beside it, And devouring it for food. But 'til then she's far away, She's at her granny's house in Kansas, Watching for tornados in the sky. She's far away. Every day, She will walk for hours. Writing songs, righting wrongs, And renaming flowers. She will see the windstorm. Willing it to blow. Knowing in the instant, When the time has come to go. But 'til then she's far away, She's at her granny's house in Kansas, Watching for tornados in the sky. From http://www.mydfz.com/Paxton/lyrics/sfa.htm I tried posting that to the UR thread FOUR times an it wouldn't take. So, here it is. |
