Rising and falling lighter than air
Silently calling no one is there
Oh, bird that is flying so high and
so free
Closer to heaven than you and me
Voices of strangers keep me from
sleep
Guardian angels watch over the
deep
A ship that is sailing way out to
the sea
Closer to heaven than you and me
Visions of rain fall out of blue
skies
Rivers of tears flow out of dry
eyes
Answer my question tell me no
lies
Is this the real world or a fool's
paradise?
Wind that is blowing so wild and
so free
Closer to heaven than you and me
Closer to heaven longing to be
Closer to heaven than you and me
Visions of rain fall out of blue
skies
Rivers of tears flow out of dry
eyes
Answer my question tell me no
lies
Is this the real world or a fool's
paradise?
Love that lies sleeping wakes in
the night
Secrets for keeping that won't
see the light
I look to the future and I hope it
will be
Closer to heaven than you and me
Closer to heaven longing to be
Closer to heaven than you and me
The Alan Parsons Project is a British musical group formed in London in 1974 by Alan Parsons, an internationally renowned sound engineer, and Eric Woolfson, a composer and manager. The idea was to create an innovative music project that combined progressive, rock, and classical elements, with the orchestra as a central element. The lineup included session musicians and guest vocalists, including Lenny Zakatek, David Paton, Chris Rainbow, and Colin Blunstone. Woolfson mainly handled the composition of vocal tracks, while Parsons focused on production and instrumental compositions. Among their most notable albums are *Tales of Mystery and Imagination* (1976), inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe, *Pyramid* (1975), and *Eye in the Sky* (1977). The group achieved international success in the 1970s and 1980s with songs like "Sirius", "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You", and "Time Away". After the project ended in 1982, Parsons and Woolfson continued to work independently. Woolfson died in 2009.
