Closer And Closer Apart Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

Tell me the truth 

Don't ask me to lie 

These are the things we say 

You don't need proof and I'm not going to try 

But I think we have lost our way 

You don't own the sun and I can't raise the moon 

So now as the darkness falls 

Love is so hard won then over too soon 

And another cruel ending calls 

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 

Closer and closer apart 

Now all the kings horses and all the kings men 

Wait for their clarion call 

Pride hears its voices, and fear wins again 

And there's nothing to break our fall 

Over and over and over again 

The world only spins one way 

The past is a distant flicker by now 

And a lesson for another day 

Now, my sad little boat floats on ou to sea 

And you're almost out of sight 

I'll remember you 

Please don't forget me 

I whisper with all my might 

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 

All that I know is it's so hard to go ...
