Story Behind The Song
Hung over after a 20 year reunion and woke up considering the absurdity of seeing folks you haven't seen in 20 years and weren't likely to see again in another 20. Seems the conversations could have been scripted and played back at the 40 year meeting.

Lyrics
Too Far Away
Where's that old gang of mine
You tell me that you're doing fine
That's 'bout all you've got to say
I know and it's sad but true
We can't mean what we used to
'Cos we've all gone too far away
Friday nights in Robby's car
Camping out beneath the stars
I always hoped we'd stay the same forever
Playing games of remember when
It can't be that way again
December always follows May
If you're in the neighborhood
Look me up if you think you could
And please don't go too far away
Saying things 'cos we think we should
Yeah, you still are looking good
And it's too bad that it won't last forever
I'm glad to hear you're doing alright
Yeah, I'll be around tonight
How long you think you're gonna stay
I'm not who I used to be
How long does it take to see
We're all just actors in a play
Yeah, and it's just been great
Well I see that it's getting late
Just not time to put it back together
Where's that old gang of mine
Don't tell me they're doing fine
That's just words that people say
I know and it's sad but true
We can't mean what we used to
'Cos we've all gone too far away
