Distantly In Love
2
By: Jimmy Buffett
3
1983
4
For Jane and Savannah Jane
5
Payphones all were ringing as the crowd went roarin' by
6
Lovely dancers swayin' to an island lullaby
7
Beside the southern ocean taking stock of what's to be
8
Writing you this letter that you'll probably never see
9
Chorus:
10
But I can't help but be
11
Ruled by inconsistencies
12
Not unique just distantly in love
13
Tried to phone from Paris thinking things could be arranged
14
Me and you would rendezvous but I found your number changed
15
So I drove to San Remo where the crazy painter dwells
16
Toasted our old photograph still up there on his shelf
17
Chorus:
18
But I can't help but be
19
Ruled by my antiquities
20
Not unique just distantly in love
21
I can't be the one to fill
22
Your times and all your places
23
I can't be the one to fill
24
Your blanks and empty spaces
25
I heard it from a friend of ours I saw in Timber Bay
26
You had a new lover who had stolen you away
27
That could be the reason that I never got in touch
28
May present slight problems if he loves you half as much
29
Chorus:
30
As I who can't help but be
31
Ruled by my antiquities
32
Not unique just distantly in love
33
You know I can't help but be
34
Part of my own philosophies
35
Not unique just distantly in love
