lyrics

Close To Heaven

Stand by the window in the morning light
Wear the dress that you know I like
Feel the sunlight in your hair

Hold me close let me feel your skin
A few more days and our journey begins

Say a little prayer for me
I know how much you care for me

I’ll fly above the clouds
Almost past the moon

I’ll watch the sun come up
I should be home by noon

Looking for angels, as I touch their sky
I may make it close to heaven,
I feel, I feel so alive

Awake at 5 a.m., cant see the light
Slept like a baby all through the night

It’s been a long time
Now it’s almost time

Look me over say it’s time to go
A bumpy ride, down a lonely road

Here comes the sunshine
It’s almost my time

A final handshake and they load me in
I see their faces with their worried grin

They strap me in now
He knows I know how

I feel the pressure and I hear the roar
I played it through a hundred times before

For those of you who care for me
Say a little prayer for me

I went high above the clouds
I flew past the moon

And here comes the sun
I made it home by noon

The angels gave a wave, as I touched their sky
And I made it close to heaven

I feel so alive

At last and after a too long time on my wishlist this album has finally been bought ;-) Clearly recommended to friends of classic Pink Floyd (rather think Wish You Were Here than The Wall or in other words rather think Gilmour/Wright than Waters). Carsten Pieper

As with previous releases this is a solid album from start to finish which continues the storyline, themes and signatures perfectly. 'Enigma' and 'Another Same' are on par with or superior to many commercial offerings by established prog artists. The Waters, Wilson and Hayward influences shine through once more but I also hear song writing very much in the style of Difford and Tilbrook, 'Trough of War' & 'Another Same' probably being the best examples. These chaps are the real deal! rex-the-younger
