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 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
