Alan Parsons Project lyrics

"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
