Judas Priest – Close to You

Written by GLENN TIPTON & K.K. DOWNING

So many years that we were one

So many things we’ve done

The memories alive

But most of me has died

As I struggle with events

I’m offered words of strength

They do not comprehend

The passion we possessed

People tell me what to do

Tell me how I should get through

But they haven’t got a clue

No-one else comes close to you

I see your eyes before they closed

They looked right inside my soul

And they asked me not to grieve

I tried but still I bleed

I wake up, I break up

I try hard to shake off

The desolation as it grows

As nothing else comes close

And as I stand here by the grave

And the wind calls out your name

I know that time could never heal

The emptiness I feel

People try to give me hope

Tell me how I should let go

But they’ll never really know

‘Cause there’s nothing else comes close

People tell me what to do

Yell me how I should get through

But they haven’t got a clue

No-one else comes close to you
