Keep Your Distance - Richard Thompson

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 us here today

Oh, fate is only fooling with us, friend

Keep your distance, keep your distance

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

Keep your distance, keep your distance

For with us it must be all or none at all

It’s a desperate game we play

Throw our souls, our lives, away

On wounds that can’t be mended and debts that can’t be paid

Well, I played and I got stung

Now I’m biting back my tongue

And 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, keep your distance

For with us it must be all or none at all

Keep your distance, keep your distance

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

Keep your distance, keep your distance

For with us it must be all or none at all

For with us it must be all or none at all
