Oleta Adams - Get Here Lyrics




[ Originally by Brenda Russell ]

You can reach me by railway
You can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane
You can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by a caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just
Get here if you can

You can reach me by sailboat
Climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sledge and slide down a slope
Into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt
Cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here just,
Get here if you can

There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way surely you would be closer
I need you closer

[Interlude]

There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way, surely you would be closer
Ohhh I need you closer

You can windsurf into my life
Take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big baloon
But you better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here just,
Get here if you can

I don't care
I don't care
I need you right here right now
I need you right here right now
Right by my side yeah yeah yeah yeahhhh
Yeah yeah ooohhhh woahhhh ohhhh
I don't care how you get here just,
Get here if you can

"Get Here" is a pop ballad written by American singer and songwriter Brenda Russell. The title track of her fourth studio album, Get Here (1988), it became a moderate hit on the US Billboard R&B chart after the album's successful first hit, "Piano in the Dark".

American vocalist Oleta Adams covered and released the song in 1990, reaching the top five in both the US and the UK with her version. Adams's version of "Get Here", co-produced by Roland Orzabal from the band Tears for Fears (for whom she had performed the female vocals on the hit single "Woman in Chains" a year earlier), became her signature song.
