When You Close Your Eyes |
|
The word came to me just this morning About all that has happened to you And all I can ask is how is it When your days here with us were so few? I ponder the thoughts in your mind The shortness of your turn to live The irony of giving up all When life was all you had to give Chorus One: WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES, can you see the light? Or is all that you see just the dark? Where will you go, or go nowhere at all On this journey that you now embark? (Guitar solo) I sit in the cold autumn rain And all I can see is your face Would you have been better off here Or are you destined for some greater place? I try to console those around me But I just feel so empty inside You are not all that has left us For a small part of me too has died (Repeat first chorus) Chorus Two: WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES, can you hear my voice? Or can you not even hear your own cries? Is there more to what is, or is nothing at all? Will I learn all when I close my eyes? What will happen when we close our eyes? --September 1997 |
