Distantly In Love |
| Payphones all were ringing as the crowd went roarin' by |
| Lovely dancers swayin' to an island lullaby |
| Beside the southern ocean taking stock of what’s to be |
| Writing you this letter that you’ll probably never see |
| But I can’t help but be |
| Ruled by inconsistencies |
| Not unique just distantly in love |
| Tried to phone from Paris thinking things could be arranged |
| Me and you would rendezvous but I found your number changed |
| So I drove to San Remo where the crazy painter dwells |
| Toasted our old photograph still up there on his shelf |
| But I can’t help but be |
| Ruled by my antiquities |
| Not unique just distantly in love |
| I can’t be the one to fill |
| Your times and all your places |
| I can’t be the one to fill |
| Your blanks and empty spaces |
| I heard it from a friend of ours I saw in Timber Bay |
| You had a new lover who had stolen you away |
| That could be the reason that I never got in touch |
| May present slight problems if he loves you half as much |
| As I who can’t help but be |
| Ruled by my antiquities |
| Not unique just distantly in love |
| You know I can’t help but be |
| Part of my own philosophies |
| Not unique just distantly in love |
