Closer

Lyrics: Barry Melton
Music: Barry Melton

Played by the Dinosaurs (with Robert Hunter). It incorporated a long John Cippoline solo in the middle.

When I get tired of wearing the same old face
And my thoughts seem channeled to a different pace
I'm often that way when I'm alone
And I wish that the wind would carry me home

I was riding in a jet
And I saw her face in a cloud
And I was the sun, and her face was vapourware
And her voice was [?] loud

With every moment I grow closer
Any time of [?], yeah, yeah
All alone, so far from home
Well my love is growing closer every day

So many hours, years go by (note 1)
And I wait for the loneliness to end
In a [?], in my mind
Till I hold up in my arms again

With every moment I grow closer
Any time of [?], yeah, yeah
All alone, so far from home
Well my love is getting closer every day
Notes
(1) In the version on "Melton, Levy & the Dey Bros", this part is sung against repeated "I grow closer"
