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
