Close to You

This land is real, real as the next man

This land is there for all to see

You're standing there so cold and calm

You stand so close to me

And you out there can keep away

There's nothing owed to you

All I want's to lose myself and stay so close to you

The river is cruel its pipes are sprayed with long forgotten names

Big boys now with kids whose lives will never feel the same

If you out there don't get what I say, there's nothing owed to you

To feel that way is born inside no matter what you do

I wonder how my fortune fell

When everything began to melt

The case I had for wasting that

That never came

I want to walk away again

Away again

Away again

[Instrumental Break]

There to wonder how those things will never be

Searching for that grand illusion fools have called the key

If you don't care just keep away, how can I give hope to you

Nearer now are both our futures, me, our hearts and you

And yet all I want is to lose myself and stay so close to you

All I want is to stay so close to you
