Closer

(album: Raised Under Grey Skies - 2017)

Don't you know I wish I was closer?
I'd be watching over
And if you're too small to see
I'll lift on my shoulders
If you're feeling low, I'll hold you

I wanna be there in the morning
So I'm working through the night
And I'll be smiling at you, yawning
While you're rubbing those brown eyes
And if you'll ever leave me, call me
I wanna make sure you'll alright
I don't wanna be so far from home

You know you're daddies little soldier
And your mother's handsome knight
Now don't you worry about darkness
Cause you're carrying the light
And those shadows fall when you're around

Don't you know I wish I was closer?
I'd be watching over
And if you're too small to see
I'll lift on my shoulders
If you're feeling low, I'll hold you

I want you close to me like songbird
Want the trees
Cause when your close to me
My worries flee from me
Cause when am with you
My feet don't touch the ground
Now am not a king
But when am with you I feel like
Am wearing a crown
So for you I sing
For you I sing
For you I sing

Don't you know I wish I was closer?
I'd be watching over
And if you're too small to see
I'll lift on my shoulders
If you're feeling low, I'll hold you
Don't you know I wish I was closer?
I'd be watching over
And if you're too small to see
I'll lift on my shoulders
If you're feeling low, I'll hold you

Don't you know
I wish I was closer
I'll be watching over
