far away
Across great distance
Far away describes significant distance in space or time.
Something far away is remote, not nearby: The mountains looked blue far away on the horizon.
The two-word form typically follows a verb: She lives far away.
When modifying a noun directly, it usually becomes hyphenated: a far-away look in her eyes, far-away lands.
The phrase suggests not just distance but often inaccessibility or dreaminess.
