We're So Close Lyrics - Carly Simon

(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.
