lyrics

I got so close to loving you
I could almost taste your kiss
Walking down this stony road
Through this land of boredom and bliss

A falling leaf fell past my face
I glimpsed a shooting star
I got so close to loving you
But I couldn’t travel that far

I got so close to loving you
Your blade pressed to my neck
When the tide was low the treasure glowed
Through the ribs of the old shipwreck

You spoke your spell, the curtain fell
To cries of confusion and woe
I got so close to loving you
But forever was too far to go

Kelvinbridge fell down on my head
My sweet lady still lingers her delicate fingers
Rifling through the pockets of the dead

I got so close to loving you
You were the crème de la crème
But the goose-stepping crows
And the frog-marching toads
Are dividing the us from the them

I saw you complete in the furious heat
Of a moment of total insight
I got so close to loving you
But you rolled over and turned off the light

Kelvinbridge fell down on my head
My sweet lady still lingers her delicate fingers
Rifling through the pockets of the dead
