Closer To The Heart by Rush
/“You can be the captain
I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the heart”
“You can be the captain
I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the heart”
“If you admire somebody, you should go ahead and tell ‘em
People never get the flowers, while they could still smell ‘em”
“Have you been half asleep?
And have you heard voices?
I’ve heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound
That called the young sailors?
The voice might be one in the same
I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it
It’s something that I’m supposed to be
Someday we’ll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me”
“Can you see the sun set real good on the West Side?
You can see it on the East Side too
Can you see the sun set real good on the North Side?
You can see it on the South Side too
And stay gold for me, yeah
And stay golden for me, yeah, yeah”
“Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!”
“Back when I was still in high school
Hopping clouds, not coming down
Melodies were rolling down my windows
The beats were driving me around
Used to be I had a heart so big
There was room for anything I found
I’d like to think that I’m not full up just yet
I’d like to lift back off the ground
Could use a summer song
Could use a summer song
When the days are long
You need a summer song ”
“I guess I could make room for one, a bottle of rum
You and me together, riding into the sun
Live without care, with the wind in my hair
Driving through the desert, yeah I’ll go anywhere”
“Out in the woods
Or in the city
It’s all the same to me
When I’m drivin’ free, the world’s my home
When I’m mobile
Hee, hoo!
Beep beep!”
“Wanna pack your bag, something small
Take what you need and we disappear
Without a trace we’ll be gone, gone
The moon and the stars can follow the car
And then when we get to the ocean
We gonna take a boat to the end of the world
All the way to the end of the world
Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We’re gonna teach them to fly
You and me together, we could do anything, baby”
“I told him I was a poet
I was lookin’ for the truth
I do not care for horses
Whiskey women or the loot
I said I was a writer
My soul was all on fire
He looked at me
And he said you are a liar
”Son, it’s faster horses...
Younger women...
Older whiskey...
More money...””
“It ain’t no sin to be glad you’re alive.”
“You snooze, you lose, well I have snost and lost
I’m pushing through, I’ll disregard the cost
I hear the bells, so fascinating and
I’ll slug it out, I’m sick of waiting
And I can
Hear the bells are
Ringing joyful
And triumphant”
“This summer I swam in a public place
And a reservoir to boot
At the latter I was informal
At the former I wore my suit
I wore my swimming suit
This summer I did swan dives
And jack-knives for you all
And once when you weren’t looking
I did a cannon ball
I did a cannon ball
This summer I went swimming
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, I kicked my feet
And moved my arms around
I moved my arms around”
“Give me something I haven’t seen
Give me the red light turning green
Give me the words but not the page
Give me it all
Give me the time but not an age
Give me a look but not the rage
Give me the feel for where I’ll go
Give me it all”
“Do you realize? That you have the most beautiful face
Do you realize? We’re floating in space,
Do you realize? That happiness makes you cry
Do you realize? That everyone you know someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It’s hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn’t go down
It’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning round”
“Been lookin’ at the stars tonight
And I think “Ohh how I miss the bright sun”
I’ll be a dreamer ‘til the day I die.
And they say “Ohhh, how the good die young”
But we’re all strange, and maybe we don’t want to change”
“This is a song for anyone
With a broken heart
This is a song for anyone
Who can’t get out of bed
I’ll do anything
To be happy
Oh, ‘cause blue skies are coming
But I know that it’s hard”
“Time was drifting, this rock had got to roll
So, I hit the road and made my getaway
Restless feeling, really got a hold
I started searching for a better way”
“Do it, try it
Do it, try it
Do it, try it
Do it”
“So open the shutters, raise up the mast
Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed
Cast off the crutches, cut off the cast
Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed
I’m not gonna live the whole of my life indoors
I’m gonna step out, and face the next storm”
