Daniel Lanois
One Step Closer
[Verse 1]
I'm 'round the corner from anything that's real
I'm across the road from hope
I'm under the bridge in a riptide
That's taken everything I call my own

[Chorus]
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing

[Verse 2]
I'm on an island in a busy intersection
I can't go forward, now I can't turn back
Can't see the future, it's getting away from me
I just watch the tail lights glowing

[Chorus]
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
Knowing, knowing

[Verse 3]
I'm hanging out to dry with my old clothes
Finger still red with the prick of an old rose
Well, the heart that hurts is a heart that beats
Can you hear the drummer slowing?
[Chorus]
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
To knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
To knowing, to knowing
