That Close To You - John Prine



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
