So Close So Far - The Busters

A cold wind’s blowing since you said good-bye

It’s dark and grey, no more blue skies

Swedish winterdays waiting for the next sunrise

I walk the streets and there’s rubbish on the ground

Among the junk beneath my feet

There are yesterday’s love-songs

Waiting for a new beat

Love’s a drink that’s bitter-sweet

It gives you all the thrills that you need in the night

But when the morning comes

Party is over and nothing is right

So close — so far

That’s what you were and what you are

Familiar, strange, nothing left to rearrange

So close — so far

That’s what you were and what you are

Familiar, strange, nothing left to rearrange

I wake up and i don’t know who i am

There’s a stranger in my shoes

I’m a letterbox waiting for some good news

I ask every person i see «why?»

But the mirror won’t answer

I’m complete like a ballet without a dancer

Blinded by the morning light

That’s what i was with you by my side

Now my eyes can see again

The desert is empty except for one man

So close — so far

That’s what you were and what you are

Familiar, strange, nothing left to rearrange

So close — so far

That’s what you were and what you are

Familiar, strange — and nothing left to rearrange
