Few And Far Between

(album: Beatin' The Odds - 1980)

The last time that I saw you,
You were headed for the boarding gate,
And I knew that it would be a long wait,
I know I wasn't always there sweet darling,
When you needed me by your side,
But when I was gone and you were home all alone,
Why did you have to run and hide?

[Chorus:]
Few and far between now baby,
You said you would always be mine.
Few and far between honey,
You do it to me every time.

You knew I'd come home looking for you now sugar,
But you would not even answer the phone,
Why did you insist on hurting me baby,
I sit here and I cry alone,
You know it ain't the first time,
I've been there honey,
And I know it won't be the last,
Rock riding mama don't you treat me so mean,
Don't you count me out so fast.

[Chorus:]
Few and far between now baby,
Why don't you just tell me we are through?,
Few and far between honey,
I'm gonna catch up to you.

The last time I saw you,
You were headed for the boarding gate,
And I knew that it would be a long time,
For your love I'm gonna have to wait,
I know I wasn't always there sweet darling,
When you need me by your side,
But when I was gone and you were home all alone,
Why did you have to run and hide?

[Chorus:]
Few and far between now baby,
You said that you would always be mine,
Few and far between now honey,
You do it to me every time.

Few and far between now baby,
Why don't you just tell me were through,
Few and far between now honey,
I'm gonna catch up to you.
