Close Your Eyes

May 2003 Different people in a different place It's been a week since they moved away Three new friends that she doesn't know And one new house that doesn't feel like a home She drinks her coffee by the light of the moon Sleep ain't found her in a week or two She'll lay awake and dream of better times Would it all disappear if she'd only close her eyes Lullaby and goodnight I'll be in your dreams tonight Say a prayer and I'll be there I'll make everything alright Close your eyes Teardrops falling in the pouring rain I asked her why but she wouldn't say I'll hold her as we watch the clouds roll by And wonder if she'll ever close her eyes... Chorus In this world of joy and pain Where nothing ever seems to stay the same There's one thing that'll never change I'll still love you at the end of the day... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah One by one she turns the lights down low Ask her why, well she doesn't know But as the sun sets in the western sky She'll think of me and slowly close her eyes... Chorus x2
