That Close To You Lyrics by John Prine

That Close To You Lyrics

    Like a bolt of lightning
    Like a bolt of thunder
    Like a cloudy day
    Down at the zoo
    Like a drowning man
    That will never go under
    That close to you
    Yeah, that close to you

    In the middle of the night
    You'd ask me to make you smile
    You'd come on like a one armed child
    With a hole in its shoe
    Poor you
    Everybody oughtta know
    It only hurts ya for a little while
    So stop putting yourself on trial
    For something you didn't do
    Not you
    To me
    Can't we
    Be
    Just like
    Lovers and mothers and brothers
    And sorrow
    Can i find a little something
    With a nicer view
    I'm hating to plead
    But i'm begging to borrow
    Just to be
    That close to you
    Yeah, that close to you
