Far From Me
For you dear, I was bornFor you I was raised upFor you I've lived and for you I will dieFor you I am dying nowYou were my mad little loverIn a world where everybody fucks everybody else overYou who are so far from meFar from meSo far from meWay across some cold neurotic seaFar from me
I would talk to you of all matter of thingsWith a smile you would replyThen the sun would leave your pretty faceAnd you'd retreat from the front of your eyesI keep hearing that you're doing bestI hope your heart beats happy in your infant breastYou are so far from meFar from meFar from me
There is no knowledge but i know itThere's nothing to learn from that vacant voiceThat sails to me across the lineFrom the ridiculous to the sublimeIt's good to hear you're doing so wellBut really can't you find somebody else that you can ring and tellDid you everCare for me?Were you everThere for me?So far from me
You told me you'd stick by meThrough the thick and through the thinThose were your very wordsMy fair-weather friendYou were my brave-hearted loverAt the first taste of trouble went running back to motherSo far from meFar from meSuspended in your bleak and fishless seaFar from meFar from me
