Close My Eyes

Intro:            x2 I was way - ward 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 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           x4 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 As 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             x2 Nearing the edge Obvious 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 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 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              x4
