Closer (An Ancient Song)
(2010)

If I weren’t so bold  
I’d wait for you to come to me. 
Oh I need your heart to hold, 
I long to feel your breath on me. 
I lie awake at night, but the moon won’t answer me 
Oh this longing in my heart 
It never wanders far from me.

I see you in the street 
Your happiness awakens me 
The dancing of your smile 
It calms my heart, it comforts me. 
I see it in your face, I’m the furtherest from your mind 
So I turn to go
My heart just cries alone. 

I know to you – I am only passing time 
But I don’t think I’ll ever know
Someone closer to my soul.  

Oh God this pain I feel
Brings me crashing to my knees
This empty fruit I taste
Just reminds me of the waste

I know I must be mad, to hold this anguish in my heart 
Oh these things that I’ve never spoke
Are the thoughts you’ll never know. 

One night I’ll steal away
Across the seas I’d rather stay.
Where distant faces pass me by,
And distant voices never cry.
I lie awake at night,

But this moon won’t answer me 
Oh I don’t think I’ll ever know, 
Someone closer to my soul
No I don’t think I’ll ever know 
Someone closer to my soul.
