Bruce Cockburn Closer To The Light Lyrics

Closer To The Light Lyrics

There you go

Swimming deeper into mystery

Here I remain

Only
seeing where you used to be

Stared at the ceiling

'Til my ears
filled up with tears

Never got to know you

Suddenly you're out of
here 



Gone from mystery into mystery

Gone from daylight into
night

Another step deeper into darkness

Closer to the light 



Walked outside

Summer moon was nearly down

Mist on the
fields

Holy stillness all around

Death's no stranger

No
stranger than the life I've seen

Still I cry

Still I begged to get
you back again 



Gone from mystery into mystery

Gone from
daylight into night

Another step deeper into darkness

Closer to the
light
