a far cry from you lyrics

(steve earle's demo version)
Blinded by the tears the day you left
Memories, like a stone around my neck
I never thought that I would ever get
As far away from you as I now have

Chorus
A far cry from you
I must've cried a river of regrets
It's water underneath the bridge, and that's
A far cry from from you

Far away from you enough to sigh
I laugh at all the tears you made me cry
But now even the echoes have all died
I'm looking back with no tears in my eyes

Chorus x 2
