Closer Than I Appear - Rosanne Cash

Lock all the doors an' turn out the lights

Work this thing through till we get it right

But if I seem angry an' cold

Or I don’t speak at all

It’s just that old fear

'Cause baby, I’m closer than I appear

An' here are the facts, as much as I know

We’ve got to turn back if we can’t let it go

You know your heart an' your mind

An' I’m just three steps behind

But I feel those tears

'Cause baby, I’m closer than I appear

Yeah, baby, I’m closer than I appear

'Cause somewhere inside, I’m reachin' out for you

Somewhere inside, we both know the truth

But I learned lots of rules 'bout what a man’s made of

An' I got to rethink what I know about love

Hey, I’m willin' to change

If I still seem the same, well it’s just them old fears

An', baby, I’m closer than I appear

If I was born to stand here, an' give you nothing but love

To fill up these years

Then, baby, I’m closer than I appear

Yeah, baby, I’m closer than I appear

Well, come closer, an' I’ll come closer

Well, come closer, closer than I appear
