    Lyrics

    Close Upon The Hour
    From KING OF HEARTS
    Lyrics by Jacob Brackman
    Music by Peter Link

    Up till now my time of trial seemed far away
    I barely even thought about it
    Up till now content to dream my life away
    Like Sunday afternoon
    Suddenly it’s happening
    Forces are converging
    I realize the urgency before me

    All at once I feel my power gathering
    I’m close upon the hour now
    I’m close
    So close
    So strong

    Up till now, the flames of love burned far away
    I barely even saw em flicker
    All at once, my veins have turned to fire clay
    There’s fever in my blood

    Suddenly it’s happening
    Yes the air’s become electric
    The moment when I least expected it
    And all at once I feel as if I’m seeing
    From inside another human being
    Close
    So close
    So strong
    Yes it near to overpowers me
    So strong
    I never dreamed
    My time was at hand
    I’m only a man
    Lord, help me do what is right
    Now all at once I’m open to whatever comes
    I’m standing on the threshold now
    I’m close
    So close
    So strong
    I’m close upon the hour now
    I’m close close
