So close and yet so far away
G7 F CAnd all the things I'd hope to say
F Em AmWill have to go unsaid today
Perhaps until tomorrow
C Em Dm F G7Your fears have built a wall between
G7 F COur lives and all that loving means
Will have to go unfelt it seems
F GLeaving only sorrow
CHORUS
You built your tower strong and tall
F G CCan't you see it's got to fall someday
You close your eyes and speak to me
Of faith and love and destiny
As distant as eternity
From truth and understanding
The wind blows cold outside your door
It whispers words I've tried before
But you don't hear me anymore
You're pride's just too demanding
CHORUS
The end is coming soon it's plain
A warm bed just ain't worth the pain
And I will go and you'll remain
With bitterness we've tasted
A mother's breast a new born child
A poet's tears a drunken smile
I can't help thinking all the while
Their meaning won't be wasted
CHORUS
