Were So Close lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics We re So Close lyrics (Carly Simon) I ve lived in all of the houses he s built The one in the air The one underground The one on the water The one in the sand He says: It doesn t matter how we live He says: It doesn t matter where we live We re so close we can dispense with houses We don t need a home at all It s come to be a habit with me to dine alone You re never home And the evenings end so early He says: we can be close from afar He says: the closest people always are We re so close that in our separation, There s no distance at all. Sometimes I gout to the car, Turn on the headlights Intending to leave- Sometimes I need to hear the words, My imagination s not as strong as you d believe- But I ve talked to you; You haven t listened at all. I ve said I m numb, I can t even cry, I m stuck with acting out a part. He says: what do words ever reveal? He says: in speaking one can be so false- We re so close we have a silent language, We don t need words at all. There s a husky voice That speaks to me in the dark And on the phone from studios And Westside bars, Through tunnels of long distance. He says: we re beyond flowers He says: We re beyond compliments- We re so close we can dispense with love We don t need love at all. song lyrics
