(Carly Simon) I've lived in all of the houses he's built The one in the air The one underground The one on the water The one in the sand He says: It doesn't matter how we live He says: It doesn't matter where we live We're so close we can dispense with houses We don't need a home at all It's come to be a habit with me to dine alone You're never home And the evenings end so early He says: we can be close from afar He says: the closest people always are We're so close that in our separation, There's no distance at all. Sometimes I gout to the car, Turn on the headlights Intending to leave- Sometimes I need to hear the words, My imagination's not as strong as you'd believe- But I've talked to you; You haven't listened at all. I've said I'm numb, I can't even cry, I'm stuck with acting out a part. He says: what do words ever reveal? He says: in speaking one can be so false- We're so close we have a silent language, We don't need words at all. There's a husky voice That speaks to me in the dark And on the phone from studios And Westside bars, Through tunnels of long distance. He says: we're beyond flowers He says: We're beyond compliments- We're so close we can dispense with love We don't need love at all. |
