The Alan Parsons Project - Closer To Heaven

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 flow 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 flow 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
