That's How Close We Are

Without the root, you ain't got no tree And without the branches, you ain't got no leaves To understand her is to understand me 'Cause that's how close we are Without a sea you ain't got no air And it ain't no walkin' if you ain't got the legs Understand I use her eyes to see That's how close we are Heart to heart, breath to breath She fills me up 'til there ain't none left No space, no time, her spirits my mind You see, that's how close we are That's how close we are That's how close we are Without the stars, there's no galaxy And without the river, you don't have no sea Just look at my life, and it's her you'll see 'Cause that's how close we are And without a voice no one can hear you sing And it ain't no flying without the wings So if you see me flying it's her carrying me That's how close we are Heart to heart, breath to breath She fills me up 'til there ain't none left No space, no time, her spirits my mind You see, that's how close we are That's how close we are That's how close we are She talks with me She walks with me She's holding me And yes, she's teaching me Everything I can't do Everything I can't say She does for me She prays with me She cries with me She's loving me Nothing could compare to the love we share So that woman and man Who understands you can say Heart to heart, breath to breath She fills me up 'til there ain't none left No space, no time, her spirits my mind You see, that's how close we are That's how close we are That's how close we are That's how close we are That's how close we are That's how close we are That's how close we are That's how close we are That's how close we are That's how close we are That's how close we are That's how close we are
