Lyrics

As the cafe was closing
On a warm summer's night
Cathy was cleaning the spoons
The radio played the hit parade
And I hummed along with the tunes
She asked me to change the station
Said that song just drove her insane
But it weren't just the music that was playing
It was me she was trying to blame
Well, 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
Cathy was closing the lights
A June bug flew from the warmth he once knew
And I wished for once I weren't right
We used to laugh together
And we'd dance to any old song
Well, you know, she still laughs with me
But she waits just a second too long
Well, 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
Cathy was closing her purse
We hadn't gone far in that beat-up old car
And I was prepared for the worst
Can I still see you tomorrow?
You know I've got too much to do
But a question ain't really a question
If you know the answer too
Well, 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
Yes, it's far, far from me
