Carpenter Mary Chapin - Closer And Closer Apart lyrics

Tell me the truth, don't ask me to lie These are the things we say You don't need proof and, and I'm not going to try But I think we have lost our way I don't own the sun and I can't raise the moon So now as the darkness falls Love's a hard one and over too soon Another cruel landing caused What I can do is turn now to you Holding my hand to my heart All that I know is I'm watching us grow Closer and closer apart And now all the kings horses and all the kings men Wait for their clarion call Pride hears its voice and fear wins again And there's nothing to break our fall What I can do is turn now to you Holding my hand to my heart All that I know is I'm watching us grow Closer and closer apart Closer and closer apart Over and over and over again The world only spends one way The past is a distant flicker by now And a lesson for another day Now my sad little boat floats on out to sea And you're almost out of sight I'll remember you, please don't forget me I whisper with all my mind All I can do is turn now to you Holding my hand to my heart All that I know is I'm watching us grow All I can do is turn back to you And wave with one hand on my heart Of that I know this is so hard to go
