Closer

I saw her on a weak spot in the city

I saw her on the corner of the street

I saw her flashing by on a sundaymorning

I think I hear her voice with every beat

 

Each day she's getting closer, closer

each day she's getting

 

Closer to this country

closer to the start

closer to my doorstep

closer to my heart

 

Each day she's getting closer, closer

any day she may be here behind me

here don't look away

here to find me

here to stay

 

She's the keeper of a promise

mother made long ago

to a little boy dressed in armour

it was carved in his soul
