From the recording Your Way Home

A ballad written one Saturday afternoon. Quite a personal song thinking about someone loved.

Lyrics

Somehow Closer (To You)

I can see you fast asleep inside your eiderdown
I can hear your breathing keeping time with my own sounds
If I could see above the clouds
The sun is shining brightly now
If I could see beyond all time
That you and I together are
And I am somehow closer to you now

I can feel your hand in mine although we’re far apart
I can sense that all is fine as you are in my heart
If I could see above the clouds
The sun is shining brightly now
If I could see beyond all time
That you and I together are
And I am somehow closer to you now

When all I feel around is frost
And all my hopes, my dreams are lost
And life’s own pain I can’t resist
And all I long for is your kiss
And I am really closer to you now

As the daylight fades away I close my eyes to sleep
All I pray for is that you in loving peace will keep
I can see above the clouds
The sun is shining brightly now
And I can see beyond all time
That you and I together are
And I am somehow closer to you now
And I am somehow closer to you now

And I am really closer to you now
