So Close Lyrics

I came up from the water

I swear I saw you there

Light within my father's eyes

Tears tumbling everywhere

The angels were singing, or so I was told

For the war weary soul that gave in

Holding a rose and a fresh set of clothes

I knew a strange still within

You felt so close

You felt so close

You felt so close

You felt so close

You felt so close

You felt so close

I stared across the water

I dared to step right in

The ghosts of those old shipwrecks

Whistling down the wind

Ocean, my friend, are you vast enough

To put out all the fires we made

As if in response, oh you swallowed me up

And for once I was unafraid

We were so close

We were so close

We were so close

We were so close

We were so close

We were so close

Rocking on my parents' porch

Pulling out my hair

I stumbled through a feeble pass

At something like a prayer

Then like a bolt from the blue, a chickadee flew

And landed on a dish full of rain

As if in response I took off my shoes

And cried there as the mourning dove sang

You flew too close

You flew too close

You flew too close

You flew too close

You flew too close

You flew too close
