A Far Cry From Here - Malcolm Holcombe

I’ve heard misfortune blossoms

And wasted ways before me by the cause

Of givin' someone time enough for spendin'

Love only borrowed

And I’ve placed myself at ease

Listenin' to the lies and self-belief

For wantin' somethin' close enough for keepin'

A far cry from here

But I believe in wastin' the years

Speakin' of the deer who has been spared

Innocence so near

A far cry from here

Even still, the night is passin'

Behind a heart an emptiness still follows

Distance stands the swallow’s heart from lendin' me

Love only borrowed

But I believe in wastin' the years

Speakin' of the deer who has been spared

Innocence so near

A far cry from here

Some are sad but true to know

There’s belongin' in just longin' for someone

My shoulder rests a road I only follow

Love only borrowed

But I believe in wastin' the years

Speakin' of the deer who has been spared

Innocence so near

A far cry from here

A far cry from here

A far cry from here
