Lyrics:

(Carly Simon)I've lived in all of the houses he's builtThe one in the airThe one undergroundThe one on the waterThe one in the sandHe says: It doesn't matter how we liveHe says: It doesn't matter where we liveWe're so close we can dispense with housesWe don't need a home at allIt's come to be a habit with me to dine aloneYou're never homeAnd the evenings end so earlyHe says: we can be close from afarHe says: the closest people always areWe're so close that in our separation,There's no distance at all.Sometimes I gout to the car,Turn on the headlightsIntending 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 voiceThat speaks to me in the darkAnd on the phone from studiosAnd Westside bars,Through tunnels of long distance.He says: we're beyond flowersHe says: We're beyond compliments-We're so close we can dispense with loveWe don't need love at all.

Carly Simon We're So Close
