Текст песни Better Than Ezra - Closer

And the morning light was breaking

Slowly moving across the bed

He gets up without her waking

To the voices in his head

Through the shadows in the hallway

To the room they painted blue

And on the inside he is frightened

At a loss for what to do

Until he opens up his eyes

And the angels all look down

Even closer than this life

Closer than your faith

Closer than the things that you hold dearly

And in vain

Closer than this life

Falling through again

Giving more than anything

That you could hope to win

And he knows his life is changing

Its never easy letting go

For the first time you are mortal

As the child before you grows

And he wonders at the sight

Of the joy that he has found

Even closer than this life

Closer than your faith

Closer than the things that you hold dearly

And in vain

Closer than this life

Falling through again

Giving more than anything

That you could hope to win

And what would you intend to find?

Solitude? your peace of mind?

Holding out for something less

Than touching the hand of god?

Even closer than this life

Closer than this faith

Closer than the things that you hold dearly

And in vain

Closer than this life

Falling through again

Giving more than anything

That you could hope to win

Closer than this life

Closer finally

Living for the only thing

You ever made complete

Oh, for the one thing

That you both did perfectly
