Keith Hampton: Songs & Lyrics

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

from HOPEfire (2002)

come a little closer
you seem so far away
days are getting colder
dawn rising late
baby you're the sunshine
when my shadows settle in
standing on the outside
of this crazy life we live

but i'll never let you go
i'll never let you down
you'll never be alone
because i'll always be around

we get a little foolish
when we're laughing to the sky
it's coming to a breakdown
we speed up and pass it by
it's that kind of situation
two lovers who were friends
same infatuation
but we'll break before we bend

it's like waking from a dream
and you're drying out your eyes
but it never was a dream
and that's your silent sweet surprise

all the snowfalls and the roses
of yesterday are gone
it's the chilling in your heart
that remains
until the fear you remember
frees the pain you forget
you'll be frozen like a work of art
as your beauty slowly falls apart

so come a little closer
you seem so far away
nights are getting colder
and we're dying every day

but i'll never let you go
i'll never let you down
you'll never be alone
because i'll always be around
so come a little closer
