Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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
