Heaven gets closer every day — текст песни (The Waterboys)

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...
