Closer Than I Appear Lyrics - Rules Of Travel - Rosanne Cash

Lock all the doors an' turn out the lights. 

Work this thing through till we get it right. 

But if I seem angry an' cold, 

Or I don't speak at all, 

It's just that old fear, 

'Cause baby, I'm closer than I appear. 

An' here are the facts, as much as I know. 

We've got to turn back if we can't let it go. 

You know your heart an' your mind. 

An' I'm just three steps behind, 

But I feel those tears, 

'Cause baby, I'm closer than I appear. 

Yeah, baby, I'm closer than I appear.

'Cause somewhere inside, I'm reachin' out for you. 

Somewhere inside, we both know the truth. 

But I learned lots of rules 'bout what a man's made of, 

An' I got to rethink what I know about love. 

Hey, I'm willin' to change. 

If I still seem the same, well it's just them old fears. 

An', baby, I'm closer than I appear.

Well, come closer, an' I'll come closer. 

Well, come closer, closer than I appear.
