Far from Me

As the cafe was closin' on a warm summer night

Kathy was cleanin' the spoons

The radio played the hit parade

And I hummed along with the tune

She asked me to change the station

Said that song just drove her insane

But it weren't the music that was playin'

It was me she was tryin' to blame

And the night is all black and still now

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 the ring

So I leaned on my left leg in the parkin' lot dirt

While Kathy, she put out the lights

A June bug flew from the warmth he once new

And I wished for once I weren't right

See, we used to laugh together

We'd dance just to any old song

You know she still laughs with me

But she waits just a minute too long

And the night is all black and still now

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 the ring

I started the engine and I gave her some gas

While Kathy, she closed her purse

We hadn't gone far in my beat up old car

When I was prepared for the worst

Will you see me tomorrow?

No, I've got things to do

Well, a question ain't really a question

If you know the answer too

And the night is all black and still now

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 the ring

Yeah, it's far, far from the ring
