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
