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
