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 |
|
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 |
