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
