A Far Cry

Intro: verse 1 I've heard misfortune's losses And wasted ways before me buy the costs Of giving someone time enough for spending Love only borrowed verse 2 I've placed myself at ease Listening to the lies of self-belief For wanting something close enough for keeping A far cry from here But I believe in ways and means To speak another, dear, who has been spared Innocence so near___ A far cry from here Instrumental: verse 3 Even still the night is passing Behind my heart an emptiness still follows The distance damns the swallow hard for lending Love only borrowed verse 4 And some are sad___, but true to know There's belonging in just longing for someone My shoulder rests, a road I only follow Love only borrowed Oh, but I believe in ways and means To speak another, dear, who has been spared Innocence so near___ A far cry from here Oh, but I believe in ways and means To speak another, dear, who has been spared Innocence so near___ A far cry from here
