Without the root, you ain't got no tree

And without the branches, you ain't got no leaves

To understand her is to understand me

'Cause that's how close we are Without a sea you ain't got no air

And it ain't no walkin' if you ain't got the legs

Understand I use her eyes to see

That's how close we are Heart to heart, breath to breath

She fills me up 'til there ain't none left

No space, no time, her spirits my mind

You see, that's how close we are

That's how close we are

That's how close we are Without the stars, there's no galaxy

And without the river, you don't have no sea

Just look at my life, and it's her you'll see

'Cause that's how close we are And without a voice no one can hear you sing

And it ain't no flying without the wings

So if you see me flying it's her carrying me

That's how close we are Heart to heart, breath to breath

She fills me up 'til there ain't none left

No space, no time, her spirits my mind

You see, that's how close we are

That's how close we are

That's how close we are She talks with me

She walks with me

She's holding me

And yes, she's teaching me Everything I can't do

Everything I can't say She does for me

She prays with me

She cries with me

She's loving me Nothing could compare to the love we share

So that woman and man

Who understands you can say Heart to heart, breath to breath

She fills me up 'til there ain't none left

No space, no time, her spirits my mind

You see, that's how close we are

That's how close we are

That's how close we are That's how close we are

That's how close we are

That's how close we are

That's how close we are That's how close we are

That's how close we are

That's how close we are

That's how close we are

That's how close we are
