john prine - that close to you (live) lyrics

[verse]
like a bolt of lightning, like a bolt of thunder
like a cloudy day down at the zoo
like a drowning man that’ll never go under
that close to you, yeah, that close to you

[pre+chorus]
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 oughta know
it only hurts you for a little while
stop putting yourself on trial
for something you didn’t do
not you, to me, can’t we be just like

[chorus]
lovers and mothers and brothers and sorrow
can i find a little something with a nicer view?
and i’m hating to plead, but i’m begging to borrow
just to bе that close to you, yeah, that close to you

[pre+chorus]
in thе 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 oughta know
it only hurts you 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
[chorus]
lovers and mothers and brothers and sorrow
can i find a little something with a nicer view?
and i’m hating to plead, but i’m begging to borrow
just to be that close to you, yeah, that close to you

[post+chorus]
ooh, that close to you, yeah, that close to you
