Helma Sawatzky - Closer Than My Skin

In webs of fog and misty mornings
In darkest night I looked for you
In distant dreams and foreign countries
I sought to find a way to you

But you're closer than my skin
You're the wings of my spirit -
hiding deep within
You're the air that I breathe
You're the rhythm of my song
Carry me along

In raging storm and roaring thunder
I sought to find an angry face
When all came down in awestruck wonder
You touched me with a smile of grace
And you're closer than my skin
You're the wings of my spirit -
hiding deep within
You're the air that I breathe
You're the rhythm of my song
Carry me along

Deep inside you carry me
So close... entwined... a mystery
You light my eyes - you make me see all over...
And all around me you make sense
of things I could not comprehend
You love the part inside of me
I didn't want to know...

And you're closer than my skin
You're the wings of my spirit - hiding deep within
You're the air that I breathe
You're the rhythm of my song
Carry me along
