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 is so hard won then over too soon
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
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 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 out to sea
And you're almost out of sight
I'll remember you
Please don't forget me
Whisper with all of 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...
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 is so hard won then over too soon
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
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 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 out to sea
And you're almost out of sight
I'll remember you
Please don't forget me
Whisper with all of 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...
