keep your distance
©1991
the
bee's knees - official richard thompson site and much, much more
verse
1
if i
cross
your path again, who knows where, who knows when
on some
morning
without number or some highway without end
don't
grasp
my hand and say fate has brought you here today
fate is
only
fooling with us, friend
chorus
keep
your
distance, keep your distance
when i
feel
you close to me what can i do but fall
keep
your
distance, oh keep your distance
with us
it
must be all or none at all
verse
2
it's a
desperate
game we play, throw our souls, our lives away
wounds
that
can't be mended and debts that can't be paid
oh, i
played
and i got stung, now i'm biting back my tongue
and i'm
sweeping
out the footprints where i strayed
chorus
keep
your
distance, keep your distance
when i
feel
you close to me what can i do but fall
keep
your
distance, oh keep your distance
with us
it
must be all or none at all
