Steve Earle
Close Your Eyes
[Verse 1]
I dreamed you were standing on the edge of the world
And I thought I heard you call out
One foot on the rock and one on a cloud
Was it just the wind that I heard?
[Chorus]
Close your eyes
This world won't stop spinning, you know
Close your eyes
Why don't you just let go?
[Verse 2]
Thousands of people searching out there
Most of them looking for love
But nothing is something that there's plenty of
In time, we'll all get our share
[Chorus]
Close your eyes
This world won't stop spinning, you know
Close your eyes
Why don't you just let go?
[Verse 3]
When I was a child and they put me to bed
They always took care that I prayed
But the part that goes, "if I should die before I wake"
Echoed all night in my head
[Chorus]
Close your eyes
This world won't stop spinning, you know
Close your eyes
Why don't you just let go?
