Closer To You Lyrics - Good Luck Charm - The Mastersons

I found a letter in my dresser from a couple years back 

It was written from my dad, he nearly broke his back 

He spent his life working a job he hated 

It could have left him bitter but he never got jaded 

I tried to hold him close but he pulled away 

I'd give anything to see him once again today 

He died too young, it nearly broke my heart 

I'd give anything to take it right back to the start 

Chorus 

I had a perfect dream of your beautiful face 

I woke too soon and you were lost in space 

I spent half the day crying at a sky so blue 

And I'd give anything to be closer to you 

Yeah, I'd give anything to be closer to you 

Well, I never saw a hearse pulling a U-Haul trailer 

Possessions don't mean nothin' to a long lost sailor 

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust 

If you don't keep searchin' then you're sure gonna rust 

Chorus 

I'm in the dark 

So close, so far 

I dropped a letter to my lover in the mail today 

I'll be damned if I'm gonna make the same mistakes 

Will you join me on a journey for the rocky road 

I promise you I'll help you bear the heavy load 

Chorus
