Never Far Away Lyrics

Walking home to you
Walking home to you
I'm talking through my wounds that I'm bleeding out for you
Talking through my wounds
Walking home to you

I listen when I can
I listen when I can
To this picture of you I carry in my hand
Lets me hear you say
You're never far away

And the dirt beneath my heels in the road
Obeys command to me and serves me as I go
And though it help to know you're never far away
I can't help wondering how you might feel about me today

Ada let me know
Ada let me know
Will you want me back or is it better if I go
Will you want me back
Ada let me know

That Carolina wind
That Carolina Wind
It blows in my eyes and makes me realize
The trouble that I'm in
That Carolina Wind

And the dirt beneath my heels in the road
Obeys command to me and serves me as I go
And though it help to know you're never far away
I can't help wondering how you might feel about me today

You'll see me in a dream
You'll see me in a dream
You'll see me in a dream across a mountain stream
And you will hear me say
You're never far away
Never far away
Never far away

Walking home to you
Walking home to you
I'm talking through my wounds that I'm bleeding out for you
Talking through my wounds
Walking home to you

I listen when I can
I listen when I can
To this picture of you I carry in my hand
Lets me hear you say
You're never far away

And the dirt beneath my heels in the road
Obeys command to me and serves me as I go
And though it help to know you're never far away
I can't help wondering how you might feel about me today

Ada let me know
Ada let me know
Will you want me back or is it better if I go
Will you want me back
Ada let me know

That Carolina wind
That Carolina Wind
It blows in my eyes and makes me realize
The trouble that I'm in
That Carolina Wind

And the dirt beneath my heels in the road
Obeys command to me and serves me as I go
And though it help to know you're never far away
I can't help wondering how you might feel about me today

You'll see me in a dream
You'll see me in a dream
You'll see me in a dream across a mountain stream
And you will hear me say
You're never far away
Never far away
Never far away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Such a heartbreaking song, but very good. It is from the "Cold Mountain" soundtrack, so it is safe to say it is about a Civil War soldier writing home to his wife/lover during the battles. He is just wondering if she will still love him after all of his time away, or if she will think he is dead and move on. It is a very good song, and is even relevant now when you're away from someone you love for awhile.
