So Near

Slipping through my fingers,

Fading fast through the air,

It's not every day, or eye to eye, so near.

 

Floating on the hours,

In the hush of a stare,

It's a hideaway of careless sighs, so near.

So near.

So near.

Then, at once, you leave my sight, in a sad charade;

Sweetness fades in forgotten woes, leaving me alone.

 

Remnants of a daydream,

Morning sun, do repair,

It was nothing more than you and I, so near.

So near.

So near.

Nothing more to change in a sad charade

Nothing left to bargain for.

Without careless sighs, without eye to eye,

So close, yet so far and so near.

So near.

 

Then, at once, you leave my sight, in a sad charade;

Sweetness fades in forgotten woes, leaving me alone.

 

Remnants of a daydream,

Morning sun, do repair,

It was nothing more than you and I, so near.

So near.

So near.
