Ah
Lately, it hasn`t been easy
I`ve been wanderin` all night
Searchin`, tryin` to find an answer
Why I`m in this situation

I`ve been sailing close to the wind
Trying to keep my head above water
Close to the wind, without you
I`ve been sailing close to the wind
Everyday it just gets harder
But you`re all I need to survive

For so long it felt like
I was walking on the water
I found the hard part
Is waking without you in the morning

I`ve been sailing close to the wind
The weight of the world`s on my shoulders (everyday now)
Close to the wind, without you
I`ve been sailing close to the wind
The loneliness it`s neverending (yes I`m falling)
Open your heart, come aboard

And if we`re back together
I know our love will be everlasting
I still believe that there`s a chance
For us to have a happy ending
Peace will reign on earth
LIfe for all it`s worth, oh yeah

I pray every single morning
That this time we will be much stronger

I`ve been sailing close to the wind
Help me try to find a shelter (to protect you)
Close to the wind without you
I`ve been sailing close to the wind
But inside it`s safe and warm now (we`re together)

Don`t be afraid of the storm
I`ve been sailing close, close to the wind (been sailing in)
(Close to the wind) Don`t be afraid of the storm
I`ve been sailing close, close to the wind (been sailing in)
(Close to the wind) Don`t be afraid of the storm ...
