I'm Not That Far Off

Written By: Jonny Johnson

How have you cheated me? You gave me what you said you would.
I ask, Babe, when I need and we saw each other when we could.
Calm, my One.
Your heart is true, but your thoughts, they are lost.
No, my One.
You’ve done me fine. I’m not that far off.

You may think I am odd. For letting you slide, and not getting you caught.
I reach for parts I can touch. Having you, I can only dream of.
Calm, my One.
Your heart is true, but your thoughts, they are lost.
No, my One.
You’ve done me fine. I’m not that far off.

You’ll have many, Babe.
Many will be pegged beneath your spell.
But I see you’re a-moving, Babe,
Spinning brightly, never still.

My gait is wand‘rin free in a beautiful storm I brewed.
Won’t you think of me while you’re out traveling, too.
Calm, my One.
Your heart is true, but your thoughts, they are lost.
No, my One.
You’ve done me fine. I’m not that far off.

Some will spin you around
In the storms they’re in.
There forewarned the witches tale:
(From beneath the barn the witches tell:)
Sow your ground, you won’t get sucked in.

When we get together I hope we can sit and see
The sky change colors, magenta for you, and purple for me.
No, my One.
I’m right here beside you.
Rest easy, babe.
You’ve done me fine. I’m not that far off.
