Closer To You |
Well I tasted love so sweet |
Played around but not for keeps |
I’d never been knocked off my feet until you came along |
In the room surrounding me are angels I cannot see |
I know they come to carry me to where I belong |
Closer to you, closer to you |
I’m singing like a sailor strutting up your avenue |
Like a clown in a costume shop wearing nothing but my birthday suit |
Getting closer to you |
All the knocks upon your door |
Footsteps falling on your floor |
All the shipwrecks on your shore |
Mean nothing to me |
All the crooks on Capitol Hill |
Criminals on the dollar bills |
All the money on Wall Street still |
Couldn’t keep me from getting |
Closer to you. |
Closer to you |
Like a priest on a pulpit preaching to an empty room |
Like a drunk in a dive bar in the early afternoon |
Closer to you |
Poets could not pronounce your name |
Gamblers couldn’t play the game |
Matchstick statues set to flame |
Couldn’t hold a candle to you |
Swindlers on the Sunset strip |
Hypnotists and hypocrites |
Ventriloquists and Pickpockets |
Wish that they could get |
Well I’ve tasted love so sweet |
Played around but not for keeps |
I never been knocked off my feet till you came along |
I sit through the trickery |
The jealousy and vanity |
The potency of your prophesy |
Because I long to be |
Closer to you. |
Closer to you |
Like a hound dog in a junkyard honey |
I’m howling at the moon |
Like a Pirate in a pawnshop with a pocket full of jewels |
Closer to you (x3) |
I’ll get through |
Oh baby I’ll get through |
Closer to you |
