You're nearer
Than my head is
To the pillow
Nearer
Than the wind is
To the willow
Dearer
Than the rain is
To the earth, below
Precious as the sun
To the things
That grow
You're nearer
Than the ivy
To the wall is
Nearer
Than the Winter
To the Fall is...
Leave me
But when you're
Away
You'll know
You're nearer
'Cause I love you, so...
