Mary Chapin Carpenter - Closer And Closer Apart Lyrics
Tell me the truthDon't ask me to lieThese are the things we sayYou don't need proof and I'm not going to tryBut I think we have lost our wayYou don't own the sun and I can't raise the moonSo now as the darkness fallsLove is so hard won then over too soonAnd another cruel ending callsAll I can do is turn now to youHolding my hand to my heartAll that I know is I'm watching us growCloser and closer apartNow all the kings horses and all the kings menWait for their clarion callPride hears its voices, and fear wins againAnd there's nothing to break our fallOver and over and over againThe world only spins one wayThe past is a distant flicker by nowAnd a lesson for another dayNow, my sad little boat floats on ou to seaAnd you're almost out of sightI'll remember youPlease don't forget meI whisper with all my mightAll I can do is turn now to youHolding my hand to my heartAll that I know is I'm watching us grow ...All I can do is turn back to youAnd wave with one hand on my heartAll that I know is it's so hard to go ...
