Far from Me

As the cafe was closing
 On a warm summer night
 N' Cathy was cleaning the spoons
 The radio played the hit parade
 And I hummed a long 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 that she was trying to blame
 And the sky is black and still now
 Upon 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
 I leaned on my left leg
 In the parking lot dirt
 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, ya know, she still laughs with me
 But she waits just a second to long
 And the sky is black and still now
 Upon 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
 I started the engine
 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
 Upon 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
