Текст песни Close My Eyes

(Verse 1:)
I was a wayward child
With the weight of the world
That I held deep inside
Life was a winding road
And I learned many things
Little ones shouldn't know

(Chorus 1:)
But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And, though time's rolled by
Still, I feel like that child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon

(Verse 2:)
Funny how one can learn
To grow numb to the madness
And block it away
I left the worst unsaid
Let it all dissipate
And I try to forget

(Chorus 2:)
As I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And the time rolled by
Still, I feel like a child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon

(Bridge:)
Nearing the edge
Oblivious, I almost
Fell right over
A part of me
Will never be quite able
To feel stable
That woman-child falling inside
Was on the verge of fading
Thankfully, I
Woke up in time

(Verse 3:)
Guardian angel, I
Sail away on an ocean
With you by my side
Orange clouds roll by
They burn into your image
And you're still alive
(You're always alive)

(Chorus 3:)
As I close my eyes
Steady my feet on the ground
Raise my head to the sky
And, though time rolls by
Still, I feel like a child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon
