Near or far Lyrics by Mick Flannery

White Lies

0

Man of the moneyed mind
A trophy wife on his arm to boast
Their love was dashed on the diamond coast
And born was a single heir
To the ideal pair, to the careless two
Who choked the child on the silver spoon
Now the couple take turns
Trying to outdo each other
The more riches the better
The father or mother
Love at sweet sixteen
King and queen, the wedding bells
Could well have warned what time would tell
And the cut above her eye
She could not hide from the little boy
Who knew it wise to not make noise
Now he's gone more often
And she found ways to forget
And the little boy's hatred
Is not showing yet
The wife of a working man
Pills in hand 'neath a teary sleeve
Their love was pure but could not conceive
(Near of far from your mind)
And years and years go by
The things they tried, but Fate had wrote
To not give life would kill them both
(All this happens all the time)
Now he goes to houses
Where kissing is banned
And she has a daughter
But she's missing her man
Near or far from your mind
All this happens all the time
Near or far from your mind
All this happens all the time
