    Closer to the Light
    Music and Lyric by Bruce Cockburn

    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
    Suddenly you’re out of here
    Gone from mystery into mystery
    Gone from daylight into night
    Another step deeper into darkness
    Closer to the light
    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 cry
    Still I begged to get you back again
    Gone from mystery into mystery
    Gone from daylight into night
    Another step deeper into darkness
    Closer to the light

  • What they’re saying

    Steve Bell’s concert presentation is spectacular. He is an inventive tune weaver, and a deeply gifted and inspired vocalist and guitarist.
