Can’t Get Close EnoughBlack Sabbath

How many tears must we cry before learning
Things that we have they're for real and we're losing
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away

Why do you believe that we've got something coming
You took it all, left me standing here with nothing
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away
Too far away

In your world you must be dreaming, if you think you can survive
Taking all and giving nothing that's a crime
What makes you something special, what about me, I'm here too
You don't care what I'm feeling and that's the truth
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away

All I need is understanding and the right to survive
Only you could see the warnings, and pass them by
What makes you something special, what about me, I'm here too
You don't care what I'm feeling and that's the truth
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away
Too far away
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away

How many tears must we cry before learning
Things that we had they're for real and we're losing
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away
Too far away, too far away, too far away

Black Sabbath

From their start as a heavy blues-rock band called Earth in 1968, Black Sabbath survived over four decades with a total of 19 studio albums and numerous hits, but only “Paranoid” reached the top 10 UK Singles Chart, putting together one of the greatest rock bands of all time and setting the standards for music in their genre.

Virtually every single heavy metal band has cited the early Black Sabbath albums as a major musical influence and Black Sabbath have at least played some part in laying the foundations for most of heavy metal’s sub-genres, including thrash metal (“Symptom of the Universe” and “Into the Void”), doom metal (“Black Sabbath”) and stoner metal (“Sweet Leaf”). The band also explored many rock sub-genres, including hard rock (“Paranoid”), blues rock (“N.I.B.”), psychedelic rock (“Planet Caravan”) and, of course, the traditional heavy metal, being one of the precursors of this genre.

They were ranked by MTV as the “Greatest Metal Band” of all time and placed second in VH1’s “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock” list. Rolling Stone magazine ranked them number 85 in their “100 Greatest Artists of All Time.” They have sold over 70 million records worldwide. Black Sabbath were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. They have also won two Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance.
