Nick Webber - 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
