Closer
Words by Myles O Reilly
Silence is a ghost
a friend that comes in waves
From a storm over someplace
A friend I love the most
And never changing face
Like any should
Closer to my girl
Feeling like I'm on
Another place in time
I feel it in my bones
A fragrant dizzy mile
Crazy like I'm stoned
But true as if I've grown
Crawl under my skin
Swim into my veins
From a place where
the sun wakes
Read it in a face
sent in an embrace
Like any should
Closer to my girl
Feeling like I'm on
Another place in time
I feel it in my bones
A hazy dizzy mile
Crazy like I'm stoned
But true as if I've grown
The whole experience of livng in Schull and writing and recording as fast as we did. Really meant that if something was on my mind for a few days, well that saw the 'something' become a few songs. It just so happened I was deeply in love, it was hard to think or write about anything else.
This song celebrates how writing love songs, one after the other, brought dizzy relief from an un-bearable distance apart.
