Far From Me lyrics

Artist  : Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds 
Song : Far From Me
 


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
