lyrics

NEAR
He’s a good man
With a good heart
He’s so patient
understands art
with a wisdom he has attained with time
knows a purity that we fail to find here
That’s why I want him near.
Teaches true love
gives me good rest
He’s enough
and experienced
With a wisdom he has shown well
Speaks in sweet tones
that make me melt... here
Thats why I want him near.
So tell me I’m a fool to let go
of an image that the world has made me know
Tell me why it seems so clear... here
Thats what I want him near.
Hold me closer be my baby
Oh no Sir, there’s no maybe
Thought this through now right
in the days and nights
and I know dear...
thats why I want you
thats why I want you near.
