Closer and Closer Apart

"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

Think we have lost our way

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

So now as the darkness falls

Love's so hard-won and over too soon

Another cruel landing caused

What 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, closer apart

And 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

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

Closer and closer apart

Over, over, 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 out to sea

And you're almost out of sight

I'll remember you, please don't forget me

I whisper with all my mind

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
