So Close To The Feeling Lyrics

So Close To The Feeling lyrics

(GUITAR SOLO INTRO)







so close to the feeling







so close to the feeling







so close to the feeling







 







not that he cared very much







simply lost touch with his family







gone too long a while







the house of the child fell empty







now he's gone too far to ever come back







he just does not care for the quality







he lacks







 







he is so close to the feeling







so close to the feeling







just one step away







 







once down the open road







he could put some ground behind him







now he knows, and he can't be told







with only the wind to remind him







about his world - the way it was before







when he left it all behind for not very much and nothing more







 







he is so close to the feeling







so close to the feeling







just one step away







 







now he has nothing left







but one thing he carries







love and forgive the rest







free from hurt and worry







now he doesn't care for what he couldn't save







'cause he had it all once







and he gave it all - away







 







just to be so close to the feeling







so close to the feeling







so close to the feeling







just one step away
