So Close

I talk about these things just to get on through The things I love that the devil hates in you Like the joy you bring when you laugh and sing I think about the times we never had I saw you once again with your lovely lad Nothing I can do These things are true Just like the sun shine Makes the moon glow And we came so close A wrong turn when you begin a trip Even if you're off by just a little bit After a while it's miles and miles Well, goddamn, girl Don't you think about it? You and me and the world And how we'd fly around it? On the joy you bring When you laugh and sing And, baby, you'd come As I go And we came so close And you'd shine And I'd glow But we'll never know You start out east Me in the west We laid the track We did our best When at last we met at The Great Divide We were off by miles on either side The stage is set I'm in the front row But you missed the show And we came so close We came so close We came so close
