LIVING TOO CLOSE TO THE GROUND
As sung by the Everly Brothers

1. 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.

2. Come where the lights are grand.
Leave now without a plan.
You can get away if you choose.
Confess it: you've nothing to lose,
And I can show you where it's found.
You're living too close to the ground.

3. Rush so you'll 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.

4. I once held her close to me,
Listened and heard her breathe,
Just like I have done all my life.
Her heart was the image of mine.
Ah, but my wings just couldn't be found.
I was living too close to the ground.
