Closer now

standing underneath the starlight open sky
and satelites beam down with open eyes
the nights get so much clearer
as the frost dries up your tears
makes me feel that I'm much closer to you now

and airwaves passing through the afterglow
transmitting distant voices on my radio
I recognise the song they're singing
catch the tune while it starts fading
makes me feel that I'm much closer to you now

closer now although we seem so far away
closer now as sure as night will turn into day

so peacefully you drift amongst the stars
as hemispheres collide and venus looks to mars
the nights get so much clearer
as the frost dries up your tears
makes me feel that I'm much closer to you now
