(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
|
