Far From Me(Live At Fairfield Halls, 1973) - Fairport Convention

作词：John Prine

作曲：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 wasn't the music playing

It was me she was trying to blame

And the sky is dark 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

And it's far far from me

Well I stoled on my left leg

In the car park dirt

And Cathy was closing the lights

A June bug flew from the warmth he once knew

And I wished for once I was right

Well we used to laugh together

And dance to any old song

Well ya know that she still laughs with me

But she waits just a second to long

And the sky is dark 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

And it's far far from me

Well I started the engine

And I gave it some gas

And Cathy was closing her purse

We hadn't gone far in my beat old car

And I was prepared for the worst

She said that you see me tomorrow

I said 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 dark 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

And it's far far from me
