Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

Keep Your Distance

If I cross your path again,

Who knows where,

Who knows when

On some morning without number,

On some highway without end

Don't grasp my hand and say

"Fate has brought you here today"

Oh fate is only fooling with us, friend

Keep your distance, oh keep your distance

When I feel you close to me what can I do but fall

Keep your distance, keep your distance

Ah with us it must be all or none at all

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

I'm sweeping out

The footprints where I strayed

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

Keep your distance, oh 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

With us it must be all or none at all

With us it must be all or none at all
