"Close As Can Be" lyrics

Is it true?
Heard a cry
You've gone away?
Saying now it's plain to see
Through you

Like the shadowy photograph
Or stars in the morning
They say you've gone away

But I feel you near
You're lifting the leaves
Saying to me
We'll be close as can be

Now that you know
However that goes
Do you still lie
Down with denial?
For the nearness of you not to be
That's hard to see
If you've gone away
Where've you gone to?

'Cause I feel you're near
For now
Somehow
And I hear your ghost
It's calling me out
From all of my doubts
Saying to me
Someday that we
Will be close as can be
