So Close To The Feeling Lyrics - Singles - Randle Chowning Band

(GUITAR SOLO INTRO) 

so close to the feeling 

so close to the feeling 

so close to the feeling 

not that he cared very much 

simply lost touch with his family 

gone too long a while 

the house of the child fell empty 

now he's gone too far to ever come back 

he just does not care for the quality 

he lacks 

he is so close to the feeling 

so close to the feeling 

just one step away 

once down the open road 

he could put some ground behind him 

now he knows, and he can't be told 

with only the wind to remind him 

about his world - the way it was before 

when he left it all behind for not very much and nothing more 

he is so close to the feeling 

so close to the feeling 

just one step away 

now he has nothing left 

but one thing he carries 

love and forgive the rest 

free from hurt and worry 

now he doesn't care for what he couldn't save 

'cause he had it all once 

and he gave it all - away 

just to be so close to the feeling 

so close to the feeling 

so close to the feeling 

just one step away
