PHIL COLLINS - We Fly So Close lyrics

rate me

'We never realise just how close we come to disaster whether in love or everyday life...'

My harbour lights are fading fast

soon they'll disappear

alone I sit in darkness

hoping someone might come near

though I wait, though I try

no one ever comes

and the feeling that I have flood over me

the river starts to run

We fly so close

we fly so close

sometimes we fly too close

Every place you run to, everywhere you turn

there are places that you know you should not go

but some bridges just won't burn

all my life, though I try

I cannot change the past

and the ghosts that come back to haunt you

make you realise at last

We fly so close

we fly so close

sometimes we fly too close

we fly too close

My heart is racing much faster now

life passes before my eyes

something's I see, they make me smile

something's they make me cry

so I look, so I try to find

a lesson I can learn

the passing of time hasn't changed my mind

and the ghosts I know return

You know we fly so close

we fly so close

sometimes we fly too close

we fly too close

We fly so close, you and I sometimes

sometimes we fly so close,

we'll never know how many times

we fly so close

we fly so close
