Far from Me 歌詞

Far From Me - John Prine (約翰·普林)

As the cafe was closing

 

On a warm summer night

 

And cathy was cleaning the spoons

 

The radio played the hit parade

 

And I hummed a long with the tune

 

She asked me to change the station

 

Said the song just drove her insane

 

But it weren't just the music playing

 

It was me she was trying to blame

 

And the sky is black and still now

 

Of on the hill where the angels sing

 

Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle

 

Looks just like a diamond ring

 

But it's far far from me

 

I leaned on my left leg

 

In the parking lot dirt

 

And cathy was closing the lights

 

A june bug flew from the warmth he once knew

 

And I wished for once I weren't right

 

Why we used to laugh together

 

And we'd dance to any old song

 

Well you know she still laughs with me

 

But she waits just a second to long

 

And the sky is black and still now

 

Of on the hill where the angels sing

Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle

 

Looks just like a diamond ring

 

But it's far far from me

 

Well I started the engine

 

And I gave it some gas

 

And cathy was closing her purse

 

We hadn't gone far in my beat old car

 

And I was prepared for the worst

 

Will you still see me tomorrow

 

No I got too much to do

 

Well a question is really a question

 

If you know the answer too

 

And the sky is black and still now

 

Of on the hill where the angels sing

Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle

 

Looks just like a diamond ring

 

 

But it's far far from me
