AMERICA - CLOSE TO THE WIND lyrics

Written by Gerry Beckley and Steve Levine, ©1994

Found on Hourglass.

Ah

Lately, it hasn't been easy

I've been wanderin' all night

Searchin', tryin' to find an answer

Why I'm in this situation

I've been sailing close to the wind

Trying to keep my head above water

Close to the wind, without you

I've been sailing close to the wind

Everyday it just gets harder

But you're all I need to survive

For so long it felt like

I was walking on the water

I found the hard part

Is waking without you in the morning

I've been sailing close to the wind

The weight of the world's on my shoulders (everyday now)

Close to the wind, without you

I've been sailing close to the wind

The loneliness it's neverending (yes I'm falling)

Open your heart, come aboard

And if we're back together

I know our love will be everlasting

I still believe that there's a chance

For us to have a happy ending

Peace will reign on earth

LIfe for all it's worth, oh yeah

I pray every single morning

That this time we will be much stronger

I've been sailing close to the wind

Help me try to find a shelter (to protect you)

Close to the wind without you

I've been sailing close to the wind

But inside it's safe and warm now (we're together)

Don't be afraid of the storm

I've been sailing close, close to the wind (been sailing in)

(Close to the wind) Don't be afraid of the storm

I've been sailing close, close to the wind (been sailing in)

(Close to the wind) Don't be afraid of the storm ...
