Close to You (2000 version) Lyrics
"Close to You" (New 2000 Version)
Far Too Jones
Album: Shame and Her Sister
Watching daybreak chase shadows from you
As you cling to sleep
There's a moment in my world, I don't want to breathe
I just want to be, quietly close to you
Chorus:
I see myself
As a hand-me-down, all broken in
And I see myself
I'm tattered and torn, I can be brand new
When I'm close to you
I keep one hand in the filth of my life
One hand I keep for you
When restless ones tear at my sleeve
You're the comfort I believe in
I want to be, I want to be close to you
[Chorus]
I never see things the way I did
Instead I find I ain't satisfied with this man
The man I think I am
You know it's true
Anything you want, yeah, anything you need
I want to be the one you come to, I want to be the one you run to
I want to be the only one to, I want to be close to you
[Chorus 2x]
Close to you
Far Too Jones
Album: Shame and Her Sister
As you cling to sleep
There's a moment in my world, I don't want to breathe
I just want to be, quietly close to you
I see myself
As a hand-me-down, all broken in
And I see myself
I'm tattered and torn, I can be brand new
When I'm close to you
One hand I keep for you
When restless ones tear at my sleeve
You're the comfort I believe in
I want to be, I want to be close to you
Instead I find I ain't satisfied with this man
The man I think I am
Anything you want, yeah, anything you need
I want to be the one you come to, I want to be the one you run to
I want to be the only one to, I want to be close to you

This is a great song...I'm surprised to see no one else has written any comments about any of the songs. They are an underrated band and this song, along with the '98 version are both excellent.
