(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
