Far From Me

Grateful Dead · Beyond Description 1973-1989 [2005]

You say you want to try again

Wear it down between the lines

Well, I have a better end in mind



It doesn't seem you really have to

Close your eyes to see, though I know

You don't mean to be, you are so far from me



There was something I had caught inside

Screaming hard to make it known

In time it died alone



It doesn't seem you really have to close your eyes

To see, you have been all you'll be to me

It's just too late and we can't relate at all



It doesn't seem you really have to

Close your eyes to see, though I know

You don't mean to be, you are so far from me



This time's the last time I wanna say so long

This song's my last song for you

There's nothing to hold on to, nothing to hold on to
