Hartog Eysman & Jasper le Clercq - Come Closer

I wrote this song “Come Closer”. Then I asked Jasper le Clercq to improvise the violin part.
This was a one time version captured on video by Mark Tuinstra.

The song is about a man who is struggling, feeling almost like drowning. He is trying not to panic.
In the end he may be rescued – but is that real, or imaginary ?

Full lyrics :
I’ll never come closer than this
I can touch the tip of the iceberg
Only to imagine the vast unseen under water

I’ll never come closer than this
And I don’t know anything
Have I got a chance or am I already drowning ?

Treading water
Feeling nothing
My feet are frozen

Calling out
My breath is wasted
The waves are roaring

Only my imagination can
Only my imagination can save me now

A light signal
A safety line
A hand reaching
To carry me ashore
