Never Together (But Close Sometimes)

(album: Sailboat - 1977)

There's a song in your eye, it's blue as the sky
Just looking at you keeps me singing it
There's music and wine, that sparkle and shine
One for your money and two to quit

And every day it's getting less hard to be
Never together but close sometimes
Windows and rain, bluebirds and planes
They're never together but they're close sometimes

A girl in New York once captured my heart
Her winters were cold and I had to split
Sweet Tennessee spoke softly to me
Your home is your home when you're loving it

And every day it's getting less hard to be
Never together but close sometimes
Windows and rain, bluebirds and planes
They're never together but they're close sometimes

Well, life in these bars with your make-believe stars
People and loneliness passing time
A world full of fools sitting glued to their stools
They're drowning in sadness and rosé wine

Every day it's getting less hard to be
Never together but close sometimes
Windows and rain, bluebirds and planes
They're never together but they're close sometimes
They're never together but they're close sometimes
