Closer and Closer Apart Mary Chapin Carpenter

[Verse 1]
"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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
