John Prine - That Close To You lyrics

Like a bolt of lightning Like a bolt of thunder Like a cloudy day Down at the zoo Like a drowning man That will never go under That close to you Yeah, that close to you In the middle of the night You'd ask me to make you smile You'd come on like a one armed child With a hole in its shoe Poor you Everybody oughtta know It only hurts ya for a little while So stop putting yourself on trial For something you didn't do Not you To me Can't we Be Just like Lovers and mothers and brothers And sorrow Can i find a little something With a nicer view I'm hating to plead But i'm begging to borrow Just to be That close to you Yeah, that close to you
