Close to You

Our Paris fell still in our hearts I loved you only that time in the car Your hands entwined in mine Won't stop the time You were a basket case I was the king of the masquerade Slowing down, keep from the edge I always do The first time you took me in Midnight song touched your lamp lit skin The rain never chased us away In our valiant charade Your mother was kind to me I played her a song in a minor key Tears hit her dress, but I was sure it was nothing to you Love won't you come slow Lavender creeping in through the window Time, make up your mind Stretch your hands cross the billowing sky We drove down an hour too late You started smoking a quarter to eight You said if you were to die It'd be on time I called you a narcissist You said without me you wouldn't exist I'm holding your head, you talk of books You never have read Love won't you come slow Lavender creeping in through the window Time, make up your mind Stretch your hands cross the billowing sky I won't write the end of our song I'll play it forever and on and on The words may change but there's no changing you We landed in Paris again Our novel opens ready to begin Streams of sky, you smile wide I'm close to you I'm close to you I'm close to you, so close to you Love won't you come slow Lavender creeping in through the window Time, make up your mind Stretch your hands cross the billowing sky
