Justin Townes Earle - Far From Me lyrics

As the cafe was closin' on a warm summer night Kathy was cleanin' 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 it weren't the music that was playin' It was me she was tryin' 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 looks Just like a diamond ring But it's far, far from the ring So I leaned on my left leg in the parkin' lot dirt While Kathy, she put out the lights A June bug flew from the warmth he once new And I wished for once I weren't right See, we used to laugh together We'd dance just to any old song 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 looks Just like a diamond ring But it's far, far from the ring I started the engine and I gave her some gas While Kathy, she closed her purse 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 Well, 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 looks Just like a diamond ring But it's far, far from the ring Yeah, it's far, far from the ring
