Текст песни Closer to Believing (Emerson, Lake & Palmer) с переводом

I am closer to believing

Than I ever was before

On the crest of this elation

Must I crash upon the shore

And with the driftwood of acquaintance

Light the fire to love once more

I am wind blown… I am times

To be closer to believing

To be just a breath away

On the death of inspiration

I would buy back yesterday

But there’s no crueller illusion

There’s no sharper coin to pay

As I reach out… It slips away

From the opium of custom

To the ledges of extremes

Don’t believe it till you’ve held it

Life is seldom what it seems

But lay your heart upon the table

And in the shuffling of dreams

Remember who on earth you are

I need me

You need you

We want us

But of course you know I love you

Or what else am I here for

Only you not face to face

But side by side for evermore

And I need to be here with you

For without you what am I

Just another fool out searching

For some heaven in the sky

Take me closer to believing

Take me forward lead me on

Through collision and confusion

While there’s life beneath the sun

You are the reason I continue

So near for so long

So close yet so far away

I need me

You need you

We want us to live forever

So don’t let the curtain fall

Measure after measure

Of writing on the wall

That burns so brightly

It blinds us all

I need me

You need you

We want us to be together

On Sundays in the rain

Closer than forever

Against or with the grain

To ride the storms of love again

So be closer to believing

Though your world is torn apart

For a moment changes all things

And to end is but to start

And if your journey’s unrewarded

May your God lift up your heart

You are windblown

But you are mine
