Jimmy Buffett - Distantly in Love lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Distantly in Love lyrics]
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
