lyrics

CLOSE TO THE WATER

Return to the dream world
Humble home of innocence
Place of peace home of truth
For some the pain of life
So to sing a different tune
And as we reach for the front door
You see it falling away
And the fence we always lean on
As withering tumbling down

By the way

Don't let be down, let me drown
(I'll meet you close to the water)

Did you think I'd have a breakdown
When you showed me the door
Did you think I was the same clown
When you totalled up the score
You win, make another play
Another chance to have my say

Show your feelings, let it out
Show your feelings, when you need to scream and shout!
You fight and argue in the heat of the night

Return to the feeling twisting of the knife Place the piece, find the clue For some the pain of sight So to see the picture clear

And as we teach our successors
We see them scrawling away
We are the force they all rely on
But we fidgeting fumbling around

Everyday

Don't let be down, let me drown
(I'll meet you close to the water)

Did you think I'd lose devotion
When you stabbed in the back
Did you think I'd use emotion
In attempt to win you back
You win, make another play
Another chance to have your fight

Show your feelings, let it out
Show your feelings, when you need to scream and shout!
You fight and argue in the heat of the night

Got to get away from here
Go to wipe away the fears
Got to get away from here
Got to see how life appears to me
What do I see, I can see me and only me

Lead me through an open door
Help me up,raise me from the floor
I long to feel sunlight on my face
Let me escape, to a deserted place
So I can be alone, so I can be alone
So I can be alone, just let me be alone

So I can be alone

So I can be...

Return to the scene
Same abode of consequence
Place of life, light and hope
For some the pain of fright
So to steer away from fear
And as we preach what we practise
We tend to look from our mistakes
And yet we fight for our survival
While steadily dragging us down

Any way

Don't let be down, let me drown
(I'll meet you close to the water)

Let me drown
Let me drown

why shouldn't i love this album... that would be a better question. I find no reason to go unnoticed when listening to willow song. I am lucky to find good times to draw, read comics or walk close to home along the banks of a river. doing these things accompanied by Robert's music is priceless. Thanks a lot mazakote

Land of Shadows
by The Gift

supported by 4 fans who also own “Close to The Water”

Billed as the masters of symphonic prog this album is an interesting of styles and influences. Folky in parts, rocky in others. Vocals are good and male for a change. Both lyrics and music are involving and all in all this album is a good listen. I will be looking at The Gift's other offerings. Russell Whyman
