Far From Me Lyrics - The Boatman's Call - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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
