Closer to Me Lyrics by Dar Williams

Many Great Companions

2003

[Verse 1]
You can leave this house, leave this town
Leave it all to me
Or you'll never leave the ground
[Verse 2]
Look at that tiny screen's too small for you
I think you should learn to dream
Just like the dreamers do
[Chorus]
What can you do with a day?
What will you wake up and see?
The farther you get
The closer to me
[Verse 3]
Am I the habit you're too tired to break?
I want you to love me
With every step you take
[Chorus]
What can you do with a day?
What will you wake up and see?
The farther you get
The closer to me
[Post-Chorus]
Taj Mahal, Cameroon
Back in time, to the moon
Frozen lake, cypress trees
Florida's missing keys
El Dorado, Spain or bust
Eiffel Tower, Paris, just
Find your way in
[Verse 4]
You can leave this house, leave this town
All that's left to chart is
Nothing less than your own heart
[Chorus]
What can you do with a day? (Your day)
What will you wake up and see?
The farther you get
The closer to me
[Post-Chorus]
Down the river, down the road
Little Rock, Tokyo
Dusty trail, Flagstaff
In a faded photograph
Thunderstorm, Golden Sands
Cape of Horn, Pakistan
Surinam, Highway One
Chinatown, smoking gun
Golden Gate, Baltic Sea
Painted Desert, Laramie
Taj Mahal, Cameroon
Back in time, to the moon
Frozen lake, cypress trees
Florida's missing keys
El Dorado, Spain or bust
Eiffel Tower, Paris, just
Find your way in
