Gordon Lightfoot - Never Too Close CAPO: 2nd Fret [INTRO:] [VERSE 1:] I remember when best friends were jealous lovers Lying warm asleep beneath the covers Dreaming of belonging to each other [CHORUS:] And so we tried never too close Never too near dying in time And so we cried but that is alright We meant no one no harm [VERSE 2:] I remember when best friends were not mistaken Long before that freedom was forsaken Learning about all the good things in the world worth believing [CHORUS:] And so we tried never too close Never too near dying in time And so we cried but that is alright We meant no one no harm [INSTRUMENTAL:] [VERSE 3:] I remember when jealous lovers would stick together When the days were warm and the nights more tender When the bonds of truth were not made to measure [CHORUS:] And so we tried never too close Never too near dying in time And so we cried but that is alright We meant no one no harm [CHORUS:] Try try as you will Following dreams never fulfilled And so we cried but that is alright We meant no one no harm [OUTRO:]

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque un souvenir nostalgique de deux amis très proches qui, au fil du temps, ont navigué à travers l'amour et les désirs. Ils se rappellent d'une époque où leur amitié se mêlait à une certaine tendresse, tout en cherchant à maintenir une distance pour éviter la douleur d'un attachement trop fort. Les paroles parlent de l'innocence de ces moments partagés et des rêves non réalisés qu'ils chérissent, malgré les larmes et les épreuves. Le contexte semble mêler amour, amitié et la peur de perdre un lien précieux, ce qui donne à la chanson une dimension intime. C'est un voyage à travers les souvenirs d'une époque plus simple, où l’amour était associé à la vérité et à l'authenticité.
