Too Much Between Us Lyrics

(Brooker / Trower / Reid)

 There's you, you're sleeping over there 

whilst me I'm sitting here 

with so much sea between us 

I can't make it much more clear 

There'll be no time for crying 

We won't make it more than six 

I could change my plea to guilty 

but I don't think it would stick 

Still those other ratings far too easy to despise 

You've said so much in silence now I truly am disguised 

Let him who fears his heart alone 

stand up and make a speech 

For him perhaps an emperor's throne 

if he could only speak 

Far too few and far to follow 

For shame I'll heed the cry 

Be with me when I need a drink 

be with me when I die 

Still those other ratings far too easy to despise 

You've said so much in silence now indeed I am disguised
