(Lead vocal - Eric Woolfson) |
|
Rising and falling lighter than air |
|
Silently calling no one is there |
|
Oh, bird that is flying so high and so free |
|
Closer to heaven than you and me |
|
Voices of strangers keep me from sleep |
|
Guardian angels watch over the deep |
|
A ship that is sailing way out to the sea |
|
Closer to heaven than you and me |
|
Visions of rain fall out of blue skies |
|
Rivers of tears fall out of dry eyes |
|
Answer my question tell me no lies |
|
Is this the real world or a fool's paradise? |
|
Wind that is blowing so wild and so free |
|
Closer to heaven than you and me |
|
Closer to heaven longing to be |
|
Closer to heaven than you and me |
|
Visions of rain fall out of blue skies |
|
Rivers of tears fall out of dry eyes |
|
Answer my question tell me no lies |
|
Is this the real world or a fool's paradise? |
|
Love that lies sleeping wakes in the night |
|
Secrets for keeping that won't see the light |
|
I look to the future and |
|
I hope it will be |
|
Closer to heaven than you and me |
|
Closer to heaven longing to be |
|
Closer to heaven than you and me |
