I talk about these things just to get on through
The things I love that the devil hates in you
Like the joy you bring when you laugh and sing
I think about the times we never had
I saw you once again with your lovely lad
Nothing I can do
These things are true
Just like the sun shine
Makes the moon glow
And we came so close
A wrong turn when you begin a trip
Even if you're off by just a little bit
After a while it's miles and miles
Well, goddamn, girl
Don't you think about it?
You and me and the world
And how we'd fly around it?
On the joy you bring
When you laugh and sing
And, baby, you'd come
As I go
And we came so close
And you'd shine
And I'd glow
But we'll never know
You start out east
Me in the west
We laid the track
We did our best
When at last we met at The Great Divide
We were off by miles on either side
The stage is set
I'm in the front row
But you missed the show
And we came so close
We came so close
We came so close
