Closer to Heaven Lyrics

(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
