One Step Closer
(John Wetton / Steve Howe)

Loneliness, a constant friend and lover
I know well
Crowded rooms the iron bar
That surround me
Trying hard to catch your eye
Just once, you see
Knowing from this moment if you did
We could be

 One step closer
 Closer than we are
 One step closer
 Closer than before

 So many lines, you've heard them all
 lie in every one
 From men who never understand
 Your personality
 And though we never even met
 No talking needs to be done
 The hum of conversation will disolve you
 Into me

 One step closer
 Closer than we are
 One step closer
 Closer than before
