Farther from Me - Justin Townes Earle

Wish I could say that I know you

‘Cause lord, I wanna understand

Need you to know there’s nothing I want more in this world as a man

There’s none greater than time

And I’m sure no one knows better than you

Sometimes I wonder if you realize who you’re talking to Ah but you won’t break my heart again, no Broke it once, I was too young

And it didn’t mend

I’ve suffered for your foolish heart and your desperate needs

And now after all this time

You’re still slipping farther from me So many nights, so all alone

Coast to coast haunted by the ghosts of a child’s hopes

So if you have any heart

If you’ve any heart at all now

Then you’ll just sit right back down and listen to me talk

I’ve tried and I’ve tried to forget but

I just know I’ll never be that young again

I’ve suffered for your foolish heart and your desperate needs

Now after all this time

You’re still slipping farther from me It’s cold out there, isn’t it?

Still say you have no regrets but

Cold ain’t the half of it Just wait for the night and the loneliness

I’ve suffered for your foolish heart and your desperate needs

And now after all this time

You’re still slipping farther from me

I’ve suffered for your foolish heart and your desperate needs

Now after all these years

You’re still slipping farther from me
