A Far Cry from Here

I've heard misfortune blossoms And wasted ways before me by the cause Of givin' someone time enough for spendin' Love only borrowed And I've placed myself at ease Listenin' to the lies and self-belief For wantin' somethin' close enough for keepin' A far cry from here But I believe in wastin' the years Speakin' of the deer who has been spared Innocence so near A far cry from here Even still, the night is passin' Behind a heart an emptiness still follows Distance stands the swallow's heart from lendin' me Love only borrowed But I believe in wastin' the years Speakin' of the deer who has been spared Innocence so near A far cry from here Some are sad but true to know There's belongin' in just longin' for someone My shoulder rests a road I only follow Love only borrowed But I believe in wastin' the years Speakin' of the deer who has been spared Innocence so near A far cry from here A far cry from here A far cry from here
