Gordon Lightfoot - Never Too Close lyrics

Lyin' warm asleep beneath the covers

Dreaming of belonging to each other

And so we tried, never too close

Never too near, dyin' in time

And so we cried but that is alright

We meant no one no harm

I remember when best friends were no mistaken

Long before that freedom was forsaken

Learnin' 'bout all the good things

In the world worth believin'

And so we tried, never too close

Never too near, dyin' in time

And so we cried but that is alright

We meant no one no harm

I remember when jealous lovers would stick together

When the days were warm and the nights more tender

When the bonds of truth were not made to measure

And so we tried, never too close

Never too near, dyin' in time

And so we cried but that is alright

We meant no one no harm

Try, try as you will

Following dreams never fulfilled

And so we cried but that is alright

We meant no one no harm
