Far From Me

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 along 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 Up 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 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 Up 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-up 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 ain't really a question If you know the answer too And the sky is black and still now Up 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
