Objects In The
Rear View Mlirror

MIay Appear Closer
Than They Are

u'ords and ansic by Jim Steinman
The skies were pure
And the fields

Were green,
The sun was brighter

Than it's ever been
We were close
As any brothers

Th at you ever knew
It was always summer
And the future called,
We were ready

For adventu res,

And we wanted
Them all
There was so much

Left to dream,

And so much time
To make it real
Butl can still recall
The sting of
All the tears

When he was gone
I know I'll never learn
Why any boy

Should die so young
We got in trouble,

But we sure
Got around
There are times I think

I see him peeling

Out of the dark
lthink he's right
behind me now.

And he's gaining

ground!
But it was long ago

And it was far away,

Oh God, it seems
So very far
And if life is
Just a highway,

Then the soul
ls just a car
And objects in the
Rear view mirror
May appear closer

Than they are,
And objects in the
Rear view mirror
May appear closer

Than they are,
They are,
There was a beauty

Living on the
Edge of town,
She always put

The top up and

The hammer down,
About the mystery

And the muscle
Of love
The stars
Would glimmer
And the moon

Would glow,
And the signs

Along the highway

All said Cautionz
Kids At Play!
She used her body
Just like a bandage,

She used my body

Just like a wound
Butl can see her

Rising up out of

The back seat now,
But it was long ago

And it was far away,

Oh God,
It seems so very far
And if life
Is just a highway,

Then the soul
ls just a car
And objects in the
Rear view mirror
May appear closer

Than they are,
And objects in the
Rear view mirror
May appear closer

Than they are,
And objects in the
Rear view mirror
May appear closer

Than they are,
And objects in the
Rear view mirror
May appear closer

Than they are,
She used her body
Just like a bandage,

She used my body

Just like a wound,
Butl can see her

Rising up out of

The back seat now
