Closer to the Light Lyrics by Steve Bell

My Dinner with Bruce: Songs of Bruce Cockburn

0

[Verse 1]
There you go
Swimming deeper into mystery
Here I remain
Only seeing where you used to be
Stared at the ceiling
Till my ears filled up with tears
Never got to know you
And suddenly you're out of here
[Chorus]
Gone from mystery into mystery
Gone from daylight into night
Another step deeper into darkness
Closer to the light
[Verse 2]
Walked outside
Summer moon was nearly down
Mist on the fields
Holy stillness all around
Death's no stranger
No strangеr than the life I've seen
Still I cry
Still I bеg to get you back again
[Chorus]
Gone from mystery into mystery
Gone from daylight into night
Another step deeper into darkness
Closer to the light
[Piano Solo]
[Chorus]
Gone from mystery into mystery
Gone from daylight into night
Another step deeper into darkness
Closer to the light
Another step deeper into darkness
Closer to the light
Another step deeper into darkness
Closer to the light
