When the evening falls And the daylight is fading, From within me calls Could it be I am sleeping? For a moment I stray, Then it holds me completely Close to home - I cannot say Close to home feeling so far away As I walk the room there before me a shadow From another world, where no other can follow Carry me to my own, to where I can cross over Close to home - I cannot say Close to home feeling so far away Forever searching; never right, I am lost in oceans of night. Forever hoping I can find memories Those memories I left behind Even though I leave will I go on believing That this time is real - am I lost in this feeling? Like a child passing through, Never knowing the reason I am home - I know the way I am home - feeling oh, so far away
