The Mastersons - Closer to You Şarkı Sözleri

I found a letter in my dresser from a couple years back

It was written from my dad, he nearly broke his back

He spent his life working a job he hated

It could have left him bitter but he never got jaded


I tried to hold him close but he pulled away

I'd give anything to see him once again today

He died too young, it nearly broke my heart

I'd give anything to take it right back to the start



Chorus

I had a perfect dream of your beautiful face

I woke too soon and you were lost in space

I spent half the day crying at a sky so blue

And I'd give anything to be closer to you

Yeah, I'd give anything to be closer to you



Well, I never saw a hearse pulling a U-Haul trailer

Possessions don't mean nothin' to a long lost sailor

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

If you don't keep searchin' then you're sure gonna rust






Chorus






I'm in the dark

So close, so far






I dropped a letter to my lover in the mail today

I'll be damned if I'm gonna make the same mistakes

Will you join me on a journey for the rocky road

I promise you I'll help you bear the heavy load






Chorus
