(GUITAR SOLO INTRO)
|
|
so close to the feeling
|
|
so close to the feeling
|
|
so close to the feeling
|
|
|
|
not that he cared very much
|
|
simply lost touch with his family
|
|
gone too long a while
|
|
the house of the child fell empty
|
|
now he's gone too far to ever come back
|
|
he just does not care for the quality
|
|
he lacks
|
|
|
|
he is so close to the feeling
|
|
so close to the feeling
|
|
just one step away
|
|
|
|
once down the open road
|
|
he could put some ground behind him
|
|
now he knows, and he can't be told
|
|
with only the wind to remind him
|
|
about his world - the way it was before
|
|
when he left it all behind for not very much and nothing more
|
|
|
|
he is so close to the feeling
|
|
so close to the feeling
|
|
just one step away
|
|
|
|
now he has nothing left
|
|
but one thing he carries
|
|
love and forgive the rest
|
|
free from hurt and worry
|
|
now he doesn't care for what he couldn't save
|
|
'cause he had it all once
|
|
and he gave it all - away
|
|
|
|
just to be so close to the feeling
|
|
so close to the feeling
|
|
so close to the feeling
|
|
just one step away
|
|
|
