So Close So Far by The Busters Lyrics

A cold wind's blowing since you said good-bye
It's dark and grey, no more blue skies
Swedish winterdays waiting for the next sunrise
I walk the streets and there's rubbish on the ground
Among the junk beneath my feet
There are yesterday's love-songs
Waiting for a new beat

Love's a drink that's bitter-sweet
It gives you all the thrills that you need in the night
But when the morning comes
Party is over and nothing is right

So close - so far
That's what you were and what you are
Familiar, strange, nothing left to rearrange

So close - so far
That's what you were and what you are
Familiar, strange, nothing left to rearrange
I wake up and i don't know who i am
There's a stranger in my shoes
I'm a letterbox waiting for some good news
I ask every person i see "why?"
But the mirror won't answer
I'm complete like a ballet without a dancer

Blinded by the morning light
That's what i was with you by my side
Now my eyes can see again
The desert is empty except for one man

So close - so far
That's what you were and what you are
Familiar, strange, nothing left to rearrange

So close - so far
That's what you were and what you are
Familiar, strange - and nothing left to rearrange
