This was writen a few years ago on an analog 4 track, turned out pretty well...released in 1996 as ZODIAC - Red Dust CD Track.
Lyrics
CLOSEST THING TO REAL
I saw you standing by the waterfall
The white dress really says it all
I'm more than a friend, I know you well
Another lovers secret, that only time can tell
And when you come it makes me feel
The closest thing to real
And if you leave I'd have to steal
The closest thing to real
Surprise, surprise when the lights came on
I was far away and you, you were gone
I was afraid to make you mine
These broken hearts, twice in a lifetime
But when you come it makes me feel
The closest thing to real
And if you leave I'd have to steal
The closest thing to real
So there you stand with someone new
And I'm just the ghost in silver blue
Our eyes connect across the black
And when we dance together time folds back
And when you come it makes me feel
The closest thing to real
And if you leave I'd have to steal
The closest thing to real
And when you come it makes me feel
The closest thing to real
And if you leave I'd have to steal
The closest thing to real...the real thing
