Closing in on hope written by Alan.s.Robinson

I crossed the border in the dead of night

And a hard frost shone in the bright moonlight

On the tops of the tress that shook in the breeze

And a little voice said hold tight

Did you come for the ride, did you come for the thrill

Did you come for the chase did or you come for the kill

Did you come alone and leave your friends

Do you think that you’ll seethem again

I’m closing in on hope

Got the sun set in my eyes

I’m closing in on hope

Won’t let it slip the net this time

I took the corner about 45

I guess I must have had sleep in my eyes

I turned too late, lost control

Let the devil take my soul

Well it’s a hard and cruel way to learn

To fly too fast and crash and burn

But wiser men than me have wept

And found the devil where she slept

I’m closing in on hope

Got the sun set in my eyes

I’m closing in on hope

Won’t let it slip the net this time

Bury my heart beneath the cross

That marks the spot where I got lost

And gave too much to that cold touch

That brutalising brittle frost

Bring a flame and set it so

A beacon navigators know

To keep them from the treachery

The false dream that ruined me

I’m closing in on hope

Got the sun set in my eyes

I’m closing in on hope

Won’t let it slip the net this time

I’m closing in on hope

Won’t let it slip the net this time

I’m closing in on hope

Won’t let it slip the net this time
