Living Too Close to the Ground - The Everly Brothers

Listen and hear each word

Stop or you’ll miss the birds

They sing in the top of the trees

Sometimes when you look you can’t see

But up there you will know that it’s round

You’re living too close to the ground

Come where the lights are grand

Leave now without a plan

You can get away if you choose

Confess you, you’ve nothing to lose

And I can show you where it’s found

You’re living too close to the ground

You’ve nothing to lose…

Brush so you pass it by

Don’t let it catch your eye

Don’t stop you might look a fool

Standing with love in your eyes

Trying hard to believe what you’ve found

You’re living too close to the ground

I once held him close to me

Listened and heard him breathe

Just like I’ve done all my life

His heart was the image of mine

Oh, but my wings just couldn’t be found

I was living too close to the ground

His heart was the image of mine

I was living too close to the ground
