Gordon Lightfoot - Never Too Close |
Never Too Close
Gordon Lightfoot I remember when best friends were jealous lovers Lyin' warm asleep beneath the covers Dreaming of belonging to each other And so we tried, never too close And so we cried but that is alright Never too near, dyin' in time I remember when best friends were no mistaken We meant no one no harm Learnin' 'bout all the good things Long before that freedom was forsaken In the world worth believin' Never too near, dyin' in time And so we tried, never too close We meant no one no harm And so we cried but that is alright I remember when jealous lovers would stick together When the days were warm and the nights more tender When the bonds of truth were not made to measure And so we cried but that is alright Never too near, dyin' in time And so we tried, never too close We meant no one no harm Following dreams never fulfilled And so we cried but that is alright Try, try as you will We meant no one no harm |
