Heaven gets closer every day lyrics

Artist  : Waterboys 
Song : Heaven gets closer every day
 
I was talking to barry who says there’s a change
in the air
He’s just found a magic kite that can fly him
anywhere
He leans on his window as the trash daytime radio
plays
He’s got all the shelter he needs, and heaven
gets closer everyday

I got a postcard from mandy; the farmers are
bringing in the hay
Our friends will be home in the morning, and
heaven gets closer... everyday

We don’t think too much about a crisis in the
west
Because it couldn’t happen here again and anyway;
all men are equally blessed
They say a war is coming but it all seems so far
away
Because where we live the sun shines, and heaven
gets closer everyday

I got a postcard from mandy; the farmers are
bringing in the hay
Our friends will be home in the morning, and
heaven gets closer... everyday

I got a letter from london; tanks are rolling
over the hay
Soldiers will be here in the morning, and heaven
gets closer...
