The Busters - So Close So Far lyrics

A cold wind's blowing since you said good-bye It's dark and grey, no more blue skies Swedish winterdays waiting for the next sunrise I walk the streets and there's rubbish on the ground Among the junk beneath my feet There are yesterday's love-songs Waiting for a new beat Love's a drink that's bitter-sweet It gives you all the thrills that you need in the night But when the morning comes Party is over and nothing is right So close - so far That's what you were and what you are Familiar, strange, nothing left to rearrange So close - so far That's what you were and what you are Familiar, strange, nothing left to rearrange I wake up and i don't know who i am There's a stranger in my shoes I'm a letterbox waiting for some good news I ask every person i see "why?" But the mirror won't answer I'm complete like a ballet without a dancer Blinded by the morning light That's what i was with you by my side Now my eyes can see again The desert is empty except for one man So close - so far That's what you were and what you are Familiar, strange, nothing left to rearrange So close - so far That's what you were and what you are Familiar, strange - and nothing left to rearrange
