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 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 
O 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
