The Waterboys - Heaven Gets Closer Every Day lyrics

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...
