Carly Simon - We're So Close Lyrics
(carly simon)Ive lived in all of the houses hes builtThe one in the airThe one undergroundThe one on the waterThe one in the sandHe says: it doesnt matter how we liveHe says: it doesnt matter where we liveWere so close we can dispense with housesWe dont need a home at allIts come to be a habit with me to dine aloneYoure never homeAnd the evenings end so earlyHe says: we can be close from afarHe says: the closest people always areWere so close that in our separation,Theres no distance at all.Sometimes I gout to the car,Turn on the headlightsIntending to leave-Sometimes I need to hear the words,My imaginations not as strong as youd believe-But Ive talked to you;You havent listened at all.Ive said Im numb,I cant even cry,Im stuck with acting out a part.He says: what do words ever reveal?He says: in speaking one can be so false-Were so close we have a silent language,We dont need words at all.Theres a husky voiceThat speaks to me in the darkAnd on the phone from studiosAnd westside bars,Through tunnels of long distance.He says: were beyond flowersHe says: were beyond compliments-Were so close we can dispense with loveWe dont need love at all.
