How soft a whisper can get When you're walking through a crowded space I hear every word being said And I remember that everyday I get a little bit closer to you How long an hour can take When you're staring into open space When I feel I'm slipping further away I remember that everyday I get a little bit closer to you These are the days That I won't get back I won't hear you cry Or hear you laugh And when it's quiet And I don't hear a thing I can always hear you breathe You know there's nowhere else I've wanted to be Than be there when you needed me I'm sorry too But don't give up on me And just remember that when you were asleep I got a little bit closer to you

Sunny days and sweet romances, Childhood dreams, forgotten chances pass you by. Time has gone, and far behind you Music plays and lights that blind you fade and die. So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen, Don't give a second thought to things that might have been. Feel as if it's now or never, We can make it last for ever, Don't ask why. Closer to you, don't ever find my way, Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay. Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day Closer to you, I will live my life Closer to you. In the evening, dancing shadows Gather, caring, where the wind blows, fancy free. In our world of empty spaces Strangers in familiar places, you and me. So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen, Don't give a second thought to things that might have been. There's no need to wonder whether Happiness we'll share together Can't it be Closer to you, I don't ever find my way, Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay. Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day Closer to you, I will live my life Closer to you. So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen, Don't give a second thought to things that might have been. There's no need to wonder whether Happiness we'll share together Can't it be Closer to you, I don't ever find my way, Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay. Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day Closer to you, I will live my life Closer to you.

Oh my God, I pray What has the world become? All this constant change What is going on? N' even though it's difficult We'll dance in the unknown Yeah, we got so far to go together As we're trying We're trying We're trying to piece it all Rewrite this story With love and glory For crying out loud Wanna hold you right now, I would die to But I'm not worried No need to hurry Cos with all of these miles I never felt closer I never felt closer to you Looking for a sign To help us through the night Imagining your heart Painted in the sky No use crying, crying over what we can't control Rewrite this story With love and glory For crying out loud Wanna hold you right now, I would die to But I'm not worried No need to hurry Cos with all of these miles I never felt closer I never felt closer to you Closer Clo-o-o-o-o-ser Closer Clo-o-o-o-o-ser Oh oh oh No use crying, crying over what we can't control Rewrite this story With love and glory For crying out loud Wanna hold you right now I would die to-o But I'm not worried No need to hurry Cos with all of these miles I never felt closer I never felt closer to you Closer to you Closer to you (No use crying) No use No use Closer Clo-o-o-o-o-ser Closer Clo-o-o-o-o-ser I can't live without you Closer Clo-o-o-o-o-ser Closer Clo-o-o-o-o-ser I can't live without you

I've got one beautiful song for you And it's all I have left to give So I'll conjure up the island waves And country-croon the memories They were good, they were plenty Ya, we made each other smile You were loved, I was loved Ya, we drove each other wild How I loved lighting up your cowboy soul No, I can't forget you even if you say please You can take the girl out of the country But you leave her with these tear-jerkin' memories They were good, they were plenty Ya, we made each other smile You were loved, I was loved Ya, we drove each other wild So why do we sing these two different tunes To tell you would turn this beautiful song blue And I've just got one beautiful song for you And it's all I have left to give

I don't live here anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore The window coverins' are all packed away, packed away, packed away And I'm not lookin' for anything to take your place Not love, not money, not a babe or a house in the country Not for us to change our ways I'm just gonna take what comes, come what may I took the bus to Sydney from Halifax My mom picked me up at the Circle K We entered town via King Street, you should see the way The ocean hugs our little town Like a hand-knit, lambswool blanket for a newborn I'd wrap my baby up in its arms if the wind blew that way But I'm not lookin' for anything, anything to take your place Not love, not money, not a babe or a house in the country Not for me to change my ways I'm just gonna take what comes, come what may

I've got to give you up, you don't got my back You look so cool, I wanna keep my hands on you But you make me look like a fool Well guess what it turns out I don't even need you Though you're golden, I am older and I am wise to you I don't have enough tears left to cry for you From here on in I'm wastin less time Drinkin fake wine Not puttin love on the line Not wakin up to regrets of what you let me do This red heart's gonna be only half blue for you I know its hard to see down the road from here The thought of travellin there makes me thirsty for A dark-lit bar and a bill to forget my sins But I've got time to win and I've got time to lose And I've got lines upon my face divergin in a yellow wood Long I stood From here on in I'm wastin less time Drinkin fake wine Not puttin love on the line Not wakin up to regrets of what you let me do This red heart's gonna be only half blue for you And I am not afraid of fallin down, or in love, or for you, or right off of my wagon From here on in I'm gonna try wastin less time Gonna try drinkin fake wine Not puttin love on the line Not wakin up to regrets of what you let me do This red heart's gonna be only half blue for you

After forty years of slumber, a crest upon my chest crept up on me I stared it down in the mirror. Tried to wipe it away. But it stayed I had to decide if I would hide or if I'd show to the world my new-found superpower Sometimes I sleep on my back to keep the lines from growing any deeper I wish my vanity wouldn't follow me to bed I am already a troubled sleeper But I won't make it through the night I will end up curled up tight My decolletage will get made over I'll show the world my superpower With hot pink lipstick on my fingertip I will trace the lines from shoulder to shoulder From sternum to collarbone I am woman, hear me roar With hot pink lipstick on my fingertip I will trace the lines from shoulder to shoulder From sternum to collarbone I am woman, hear me roar
