Bruce Cockburn
Closer to the Light
[Verse 1]
There you go
Swimming deeper into mystery
Here I remain
Only seeing where you used to be
Stared at the ceiling
'Til my ears filled up with tears
Never got to know you
And suddenly you're out of here

[Chorus]
Gone from mystery into mystery
Gone from daylight into night
Another step deeper
Into darkness
Closer to the light

[Verse 2]
Walked outside
Summer moon was nearly down
Mist on the fields
Holy stillness all around
Death's no stranger
No stranger than the life I've seen
Still I cried
Still I begged to get you back again
[Chorus]
Gone from mystery into mystery
Gone from daylight into night
Another step deeper
Into darkness
Closer to the light
Another step deeper
Into darkness
Closer to the light

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Gone from mystery into mystery
Gone from daylight into night
Another step deeper
Into darkness
Closer to the light
Another step deeper
Into darkness
Closer to the light
