Collins, Phil - We Fly So Close Lyrics






'We never realise just how close we come to disaster whether in love or everyday life...'

My harbour lights are fading fast
soon they'll disappear
alone I sit in darkness
hoping someone might come near
though I wait, though I try
no one ever comes
and the feeling that I have flood over me
the river starts to run

We fly so close
we fly so close
sometimes we fly too close

Every place you run to, everywhere you turn
there are places that you know you should not go
but some bridges just won't burn
all my life, though I try
I cannot change the past
and the ghosts that come back to haunt you
make you realise at last

We fly so close
we fly so close
sometimes we fly too close
we fly too close

My heart is racing much faster now
life passes before my eyes
something's I see, they make me smile
something's they make me cry
so I look, so I try to find
a lesson I can learn
the passing of time hasn't changed my mind
and the ghosts I know return

You know we fly so close
we fly so close
sometimes we fly too close
we fly too close

We fly so close, you and I sometimes
sometimes we fly so close,
we'll never know how many times
we fly so close
we fly so close

    it is the challenge of an artist to remain humble while in the spotlight.

  52. J.... B....

    i wonder how he pulled it off still able to work with Genesis at the same time making this.

  53. J.... B....

    this song got stuck in my head out of nowhere which brought me back here to do the research.

  54. G.... C....

  71. E.... ....

    so poignant, this is one of the best lyrics and masterpieces which is so underrated. That said perhaps it is for the select few that understand it.

  72. s.... g....

    Just quality Mr Collins..so wonderful memories from 94....

  73. B.... L....

    This song breaks me, starts of sad wandering what could have been, then it kicks in and I full with joy and hope!!!!

    A simply wonderful track.

  74. H.... r....

    I love so much this song...
    Many memory

  75. K.... ....

    I have been a Phil Collins/Genesis fan all my life, and I just discovered this song at 54 years old.  It touches my heart and tears at it at the same time as it reminds me of my Mom who committed suicide in 2011, and the trailing depression that has lingered with me since then.  I can't stop listening regardless of how sad it makes me and how many tears I cry!

    K.... ....

    May the Lord grant you peace.

    K.... ....

    Hang in there !!!!!

  76. P.... Z....

    Not dead yet São Paulo 2018 amei!!! Você é completo!

  77. P.... C....

    Honestly i always hated Phil Collin’s songs, probably because of radio overusing his pieces and only playing his “one hit wonders”. This song changed my mind about Phil Collins entirely. Im from June of 2018.

    P.... C....

    Phil is a very underrated singer, is a phenomenal songwriter and one of best drummer,probably the greatest musician in pop music

    P.... C....

    Him, Stings and Groups as Police are unique. Don't think we will ever see so much depth in music again.

  78. A.... M....

    ever greatest phil collins

    my favourite musicians

  86. S.... N....

    i love you Phill, im a 20year old who loves the art of your music.... blesses me

  87. m.... d....
