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 |
