For you dear, I was born
|
For you I was raised up
|
For you I've lived and for you I will die
|
For you I am dying now
|
You were my mad little lover
|
In a world where everybody fucks everybody else over
|
You who are so far from me
|
Far from me
|
So far from me
|
Way across some cold neurotic sea
|
Far from me
|
|
|
I would talk to you of all matter of things
|
With a smile you would reply
|
Then the sun would leave your pretty face
|
And you'd retreat from the front of your eyes
|
I keep hearing that you're doing best
|
I hope your heart beats happy in your infant breast
|
You are so far from me
|
Far from me
|
Far from me
|
|
|
There is no knowledge but i know it
|
There's nothing to learn from that vacant voice
|
That sails to me across the line
|
From the ridiculous to the sublime
|
It's good to hear you're doing so well
|
But really can't you find somebody else that you can ring and tell
|
Did you ever
|
Care for me?
|
Were you ever
|
There for me?
|
So far from me
|
|
|
You told me you'd stick by me
|
Through the thick and through the thin
|
Those were your very words
|
My fair-weather friend
|
You were my brave-hearted lover
|
At the first taste of trouble went running back to mother
|
So far from me
|
Far from me
|
Suspended in your bleak and fishless sea
|
Far from me
|
Far from me
|
|
