Were So Close — текст песни (Carly Simon)

(carly simon)



Ive lived in all of the houses hes built

The one in the air

The one underground

The one on the water

The one in the sand

He says: it doesnt matter how we live

He says: it doesnt matter where we live

Were so close we can dispense with houses

We dont need a home at all



Its come to be a habit with me to dine alone

Youre never home

And the evenings end so early

He says: we can be close from afar

He says: the closest people always are

Were so close that in our separation,

Theres 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 imaginations not as strong as youd believe-

But Ive talked to you;

You havent listened at all.

Ive said Im numb,

I cant even cry,

Im stuck with acting out a part.

He says: what do words ever reveal?

He says: in speaking one can be so false-

Were so close we have a silent language,

We dont need words at all.



Theres 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: were beyond flowers

He says: were beyond compliments-

Were so close we can dispense with love

We dont need love at all.
