From the recording O Love
Lyrics
4. Close
You give me room
As wide as this west Texas plain
Where I can conjure up a desperado runnin’ down a train
Headed for his doom
You give me room
You give me space
Where I can try to find myself in this big empty place
Where I can stumble and tumble and fall on my face
You give me space
chorus
You give me room so I can breathe
You give me room big enough to hold my dreams
And if I laid it all out end to end, it would stretch from coast to coast
And all this room you give me makes us close
You give me love
As pure as that single cloud in this big western sky
I can see it reflected in the pupils of your eyes from above
You give me love
chorus
You give me love so I can breathe
You give me love big enough to hold my dreams
And if I laid out all the things that you give me
Well, they’d stretch from coast to coast
But in the end it’s the love I love the most
And all that room you give me that makes us close
