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
