Lyrics Distantly In Love - Jimmy Buffett
Distantly
In
Love
By:
Jimmy
Buffett
1983
For
Jane
and
Savannah
Jane
Payphones
all
were
ringing
as
the
crowd
went
roarin′
by
Lovely
dancers
swayin'
to
an
island
lullaby
Beside
the
southern
ocean
taking
stock
of
what′s
to
be
Writing
you
this
letter
that
you'll
probably
never
see
Chorus:
But
I
can't
help
but
be
Ruled
by
inconsistencies
Not
unique
just
distantly
in
love
Tried
to
phone
from
Paris
thinking
things
could
be
arranged
Me
and
you
would
rendezvous
but
I
found
your
number
changed
So
I
drove
to
San
Remo
where
the
crazy
painter
dwells
Toasted
our
old
photograph
still
up
there
on
his
shelf
Chorus:
But
I
can′t
help
but
be
Ruled
by
my
antiquities
Not
unique
just
distantly
in
love
I
can′t
be
the
one
to
fill
Your
times
and
all
your
places
I
can't
be
the
one
to
fill
Your
blanks
and
empty
spaces
I
heard
it
from
a
friend
of
ours
I
saw
in
Timber
Bay
You
had
a
new
lover
who
had
stolen
you
away
That
could
be
the
reason
that
I
never
got
in
touch
May
present
slight
problems
if
he
loves
you
half
as
much
Chorus:
As
I
who
can′t
help
but
be
Ruled
by
my
antiquities
Not
unique
just
distantly
in
love
You
know
I
can't
help
but
be
Part
of
my
own
philosophies
Not
unique
just
distantly
in
love
