Lyrics
TOO CLOSE TO A BLACK HOLE ©
words and music by Linda Storey
(1) Oh Lord, see me through, I feel so bad I don't know what to do.
I lose control, my crazy ways
I take a bright sunny day, turn it into dark days.
CHORUS
Holy Spirit, Take Control!
I'm getting too close, to a black hole
I slipped a cog, got on the wrong train
without your love, I'll surely go insane
(2) Oh Lord, I'm counting on you, I'm sending SOS
Lift me out of my blues
your shining sun will lead my way
in your loving grace I'm here to say
CHORUS
Solo
BRIDGE
Too Close to a black hole
it's pulling me in, let me go
Too close to a black hole
Break me loose, save my soul!
(3) Oh Lord, I'm counting on you, sending SOS
lift me out of my blues
your shining son will lead my way
in your loving grace I'm here to stay
CHORUS
Without your love, I'll surely go insane
without your love, I'll surely go insane.
