Far Away and Hard to See Lyrics
There was a sound like low struck bells
And the voice of someone looking for someone else
In the dark
I think of a woman I loved or tried to once
Our wishes were glowing out of reach
Blurring the life around us magically painful
Our wishes were not the same
But somehow they met in the dark
You can keep going down to the devil
Or you can stop here and live with me
Far away and hard to see
We were like little pieces of glitter
Sad because we knew glitter won't last
As long as you real people do
Her big glowing eyes golden
With wishes like mine, your weight feels good
She sighs
Far away and hard to see
You can keep going down to the devil
Or you can stop here and live with me
Where the music plays
And the singer sings
And the lovers kiss on the street
Far away and hard to see
And the voice of someone looking for someone else
In the dark
I think of a woman I loved or tried to once
Our wishes were glowing out of reach
Blurring the life around us magically painful
Our wishes were not the same
But somehow they met in the dark
You can keep going down to the devil
Or you can stop here and live with me
Far away and hard to see
We were like little pieces of glitter
Sad because we knew glitter won't last
As long as you real people do
Her big glowing eyes golden
With wishes like mine, your weight feels good
She sighs
Far away and hard to see
Or you can stop here and live with me
Where the music plays
And the singer sings
And the lovers kiss on the street
Far away and hard to see

From Tanya's Bandcamp: "These words were pulled from a short story sent to me by Mary Gaitskill ~ most lines are directly lifted from the narrative. Mary’s story, “Wish Fulfillment”, was written for a compilation called Noise: Fiction Inspired by Sonic Youth. Link to the story: www.fiftytwostories.com?p=44 I am proud of this song ~ my first written from prose. Another song about decisions and secrets."
