Lyric quiz

Hm. This tells me I need to throw more music in the ol' iTunes. Nearly half of these come from a number of box sets. None are covers as far as I know. One is a song from a popular website.

ETA: Looks like 16 hours of roadtripping via iPod paid off for a certain wife of mine.

3. So far away and so alone, how could I ever take you home.
