CAPO 1 VERSE 1 Trying to catch Christmas Eve With a seven-thirty-seven Via St. Louis on a threadbare heart Trying hard to believe In ghosts and heaven And wheels that turn with a broken part PRE CHORUS Stealing kisses over the phone Making wishes on a bottle of cote d'rome Some of these days are longer than The lonely distance that's between them CHORUS Let's be closer than we are To Jupiter or Spain There are two seats at the bar For Mr. and Mrs. my last name We are simpler than the stars That our eyes cannot contain Let's be closer than we are VERSE 2 Trying to build galaxies Out of winks and shivers That you give me when you call my name Trying to write symphonies With a hand that quivers In the storm of your elusive rain PRECHORUS Leaving lovers on their own Crawling through burning cities to get back home Some of these days are longer than The lonely distnce that's between them CHORUS Let's be closer than we are To Jupiter or Spain There are two seats at the bar For Mr. and Mrs. my last name We are simpler than the stars That our eyes cannot contain Let's be closer than we are Let's be all that will remain BRIDGE x2 Some of these days are longer than The lonely distance that's between them CHORUS Let's be closer than we are To Jupiter or Spain There are two seats at the bar For Mr. and Mrs. my last name We are simpler than the stars That our eyes cannot contain Let's be closer than we are Let's be all that will remain Let's be closer than we are
