(GUITAR SOLO INTRO) 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 ______________________________________________________________________ Lyrics are copyright 1972, Ken Shepherd
