Dar Williams - So Close To My Heart lyrics

I never had a friend as close as you so close to my heart I dropped everything when you came through so close to my heart and I put my pens and my paint box aside oh so close to my heart and the river that ran down the rock face dried oh so close to my heart when you were close to my heart It was an honor that you ran so free so close to my heart I thought I'd lost something forever, silly me so close to my heart but the place you hid in as bare as it seems so close to my heart It held my will in its infinite dreams so close to my heart when you were close to my heart so now you're gone and now we'll both find our ways so close to our hearts by the forge that leaves a stamp on each day so close to our hearts and we'll long to make great things in our lives so close to our hearts and we'll wonder if what we make survives oh to the beat of the heart It's the work of the heart but you were close to my heart
