歌曲 | Closer To Believing - Live At Olympic Stadium, Montreal, 1977 |
歌手 | Emerson, Lake & Palmer |
专辑 | Works Live |
作曲 : Greg Lake/Peter Sinfield | |
I am closer to believing | |
Than I ever was before | |
On the crest of this elation | |
Must I crash upon the shore | |
And with the driftwood of acquaintance | |
Light the fire to love once more | |
I am wind blown...I am times | |
To be closer to believing | |
To be just a breath away | |
On the death of inspiration | |
I would buy back yesterday | |
But there's no crueller illusion | |
There's no sharper coin to pay | |
As I reach out... It slips away | |
From the opium of custom | |
To the ledges of extremes | |
Don't believe it till you've held it | |
Life is seldom what it seems | |
But lay your heart upon the table | |
And in the shuffling of dreams | |
Remember who on earth you are | |
I need me | |
You need you | |
We want us | |
But of course you know I love you | |
Or what else am I here for | |
Only you not face to face | |
But side by side for evermore | |
And I need to be here with you | |
For without you what am I | |
Just another fool out searching | |
For some heaven in the sky | |
Take me closer to believing | |
Take me forward lead me on | |
Through collision and confusion | |
While there's life beneath the sun | |
You are the reason I continue | |
So near for so long | |
So close yet so far away | |
I need me | |
You need you | |
We want us to live forever | |
So don't let the curtain fall | |
Measure after measure | |
Of writing on the wall | |
That burns so brightly | |
It blinds us all | |
I need me | |
You need you | |
We want us to be together | |
On Sundays in the rain | |
Closer than forever | |
Against or with the grain | |
To ride the storms of love again | |
So be closer to believing | |
Though your world is torn apart | |
For a moment changes all things | |
And to end is but to start | |
And if your journey's unrewarded | |
May your God lift up your heart | |
You are windblown | |
But you are mine |
