Far From Me Lyrics - Souvenirs - John Prine

As the cafe was closing 

on a warm summer night 

And 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 

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 me

Well, I leaned on my left leg 

in the parking lot dirt 

And 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 

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 me

Well, I started the engine 

and I gave it some gas 

And Cathy was closing her purse 

Well, we hadn't gone far in my beat 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 

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 me
