"Far From Me" lyrics

Well, the café was closing on a hot summer night
Kathy was cleaning the spoons
The radio played
The hit parade
And I hummed along with the tune

She asked me to change the station
Said that song just drove her insane
But I knew it weren't the music that playing
It was me she was trying to blame

And the night is all black and still now
On the hill where the angels sing
Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle look just like a diamond ring?
But it's far, far from the ring

So, I leaned on my left leg in the parking-lot dirt
Kathy—she put out the lights
A June bug flew from the warmth he once knew
And I wished for once I weren't right

See, we used to laugh together
And we'd dance just to any old song
And you know she still laughs with me
But she waits just a minute too long

And the night is all black and still now
On the hill where the angels sing
Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle look just like a diamond ring?
But it's far, far from the ring

So, I started the engine and I gave her some gas
Kathy—she closed her purse
And we hadn't gone far
In my beat-up old car
When I was prepared for the worst

Will you see me tomorrow?
No, I've got things to do
But, a question ain't really a question
If you know the answer too

And the night is all black and still now
On the hill where the angels sing
Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle look just like a diamond ring?
But it's far, far from the ring
Yeah, it's far, far from the ring
