Far from Me - John Prine

[00:10.127]As the cafe was closing on a warm summer night
[00:22.912]And Cathy was cleaning the spoons
[00:28.512]The radio played the hit parade
[00:31.432]And I hummed along with the tune
[00:39.522]She asked me to change the station
[00:45.712]Said, the song just drove her insane
[00:49.668]But it weren't just the music playing
[00:55.152]It was me she was trying to blame
[01:00.532]And the sky is black and still now
[01:05.565]Up on the hill where the angels sing
[01:11.222]Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle
[01:16.823]Looks just like a diamond ring
[01:22.147]But it's far, far from me
[01:36.456]Well, I leaned on my left leg in the parking lot dirt
[01:47.438]And Cathy was closing the lights
[01:52.447]A June bug flew from the warmth he once knew
[01:58.125]And I wished for once
[02:00.124]I weren't right
[02:03.213]Why we used to laugh together
[02:08.875]And we'd dance to any old song
[02:14.575]Well, you know, she still laughs with me
[02:19.742]But she waits just a second to long
[02:25.352]And the sky is black and still now
[02:30.424]Up on the hill where the angels sing
[02:35.544]Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle
[02:41.645]Looks just like a diamond ring
[02:46.532]But it's far, far from me
[03:49.121]Well, I started the engine and
[03:53.347]I gave it some gas
[04:00.355]And Cathy was closing her purse
[04:06.533]We hadn't gone far in my beat-up old car
[04:11.621]And I was prepared for the worst
[04:17.720]\"Will you still see me tomorrow?\"\"No, I got too much to do\"“
[04:27.460]Well a question ain't really a question
[04:33.512]If you know the answer too
[04:38.430]And the sky is black and still now
[04:43.970]Up on the hill where the angels sing
[04:49.550]Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle
[04:55.490]Looks just like a diamond ring
[05:00.346]But it's far, far from me
