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
    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
