You Are So Near To Me

(album: If The Shoe Fits - 1976)

Watchful eyes... together in disguise
We might leave this place for a while
Hostess to mansion here if there's a chill
Makes it clear you'll have to stay close by

You are so near to me
I can't begin to see what you have done
The mountains close beside and fountains dancing by
Together our thoughts incline away

I'm quietly taken to your singing swaying softly
My thoughts flowing in near perfect time
I'm inside with hidden fires standing close
I realize the warmth you always confide

You are so near to me
I can't begin to see what you have done
The mountains close beside and fountains dancing by
Together our thoughts incline away

And wouldn't ya know it... I couldn't show it if I tried
I know I won't blow it... I'm on the stage most every night

Taken aside I've left the lies I was living before
Found a good woman now

You are so near to me
I can't begin to see what you have done
The mountains close beside and fountains dancing by
Together our thoughts incline away

You are so near to me
I can't begin to see what you have done
The mountains close beside and fountains dancing by
Away
Away
Away
