Michael Messer and Chaz Jankel - Music Brings Us Close Together

I’m riding in a bullet train 

Surfing on the jet stream

Blown by a hurricane

Deep into a daydream 

Fly across the promised land

Cruise in the slipstream

Tune into a waveband

Ride home on a moonbeam 



Been away on my own so long

My only friend was my radio

Now I’m back where I belong

I was lonely as a scarecrow

Sitting here on my doorstep

Thinking about the goodbyes  

Play guitar with a bottleneck

Sad thoughts just vaporise 



Music takes us way up high

Lifts us higher than a clear blue sky 

Way up above the stormy weather

Music brings us close together 



Stamp my foot on the wooden floor

Tap a spoon on a sugar bowl 

Echoes like a sounding board

Resonates deep in my soul 

Old songs like a mighty river

Flow along through time

Like reading from the holy scripture

Sent down through the grapevine 



There's the end of the rainbow

I can see that pot of gold

No further than a stone’s throw

If only I can get a foothold

Now I’m back on the road again

Singing to folks I’ve never met 

Day dreaming in a bullet train

Sun is rising and I haven’t slept 



Music takes us way up high

Lifts us higher than a clear blue sky 

Way up above the stormy weather

Music brings us close together
