Heaven Gets Closer Every Day Lyrics - Waterboys

I was talking to Barry who says there's a change in the air 

he's just found a magic kite that can fly him anywhere 

He leans on his window as the trash daytime radio plays 

he's got all the shelter he needs, and heaven gets closer everyday 

I got a postcard from Mandy; the farmers are bringing in the hay 

our friends will be home in the morning, and heaven gets closer... everyday 

We don't think too much about a crisis in the west 

because it couldn't happen here again and anyway; all men are equally blessed 

They say a war is coming but it all seems so far away 

because where we live the sun shines, and heaven gets closer everyday 

I got a postcard from Mandy; the farmers are bringing in the hay 

our friends will be home in the morning, and heaven gets closer... everyday

I got a letter from London; tanks are rolling over the hay 

soldiers will be here in the morning, and heaven gets closer...
