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 $#&@s everybody else over

You are so far from me so far from me


Way across some cold neurotic sea, far from me




I talk to you of all matter of things


With a smile you would reply


And then the sun will leave your pretty face

And you'd retreat from the front of your eyes





I keep hearing that you're doing your 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 runnin' back to mother

So far from me far from me


Suspended in your bleak and fishless sea

Far from me far from me
