No joy in heaven, although the Sun may shine I need the warmth of gin inside I see the golden track, blurred in sand and dust Where burnt out cars decay and rust Reach for a face that isn’t there A letter from afar Fooled by my mind again I fear A letter from afar Chanting these words out like a prayer A letter from afar Hoping someone’s listening there A letter from afar Ooh, afar A letter from a far Too much is not enough I need to feel your touch I need to have you close to me Desert sons and guns Mosquito nets and bombs I watch them from my swimming pool Reach for a face that isn’t there A letter from afar Fooled by my mind again I fear A letter from afar Chanting these words out like a prayer A letter from afar Hoping someone’s listening there A letter from afar Ooh, afar Too much is not enough And I reach for a face that isn’t there A letter from afar Fooled by my mind again I fear A letter from afar Chanting these words out like a prayer A letter from afar Hoping someone’s listening there A letter from afar I need to feel your touch I need to feel your touch I need to feel your touch I need to feel your touch again
