Lyrics: Close My Eyes

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 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 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 the time rolled by Still I feel like a child As I look at the moon Maybe I grew up A little too soon 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 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 As I closed 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
