about

Far From Home is the title track off the EP
"I ended up putting this song on repeat for almost an hour as each time the beauty of Kelly’s voice and the musical foundation really just builds and builds on you". Paul Rawcliffe

lyrics

There was a young boy. He thought he was a man.
He'd done a lot of work, he'd seen a lot of lands.
He loved the water, he loved the wind through his hair,
he loved the country, and the city dear.
He was always far from home, but he knew he'd always come home.
He had a calling that was so far from home.

My mama told me not to hang onto him.
She said, 'He'll leave you for other things,
and he might still love you, but he wants to see the world too.
He has a calling, it might not be with you.'

I didn't listen, I couldn't help myself.
He was perfect, he was something else.
He made me happy, for a while, he did.
I wouldn't go back and change a single thing.

But it got too hard for me to see how happy he could be,
to be without me. I wanted him to be free.
He was always far from home, but he knew he'd always come home.
He had a calling that was so far from home.
He was always far from home, but he knew he'd always come home.
He had a calling that was so far from home. © Kelly Oliver
