Lyrics
Close My Eyes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I want to walk away
Like judas from the table
Turn my back
And walk away
I want to close my eyes
Like that novice at the altar
Bow my head
And close my eyes
Sorrow took love's splintered hands
And waltzed her 'cross a painted floor
Whispered softly in her ear
"let's get outta here"
I'm going to breathe the air
That my children will be breathing
Breathe them out
And breathe them in again
I'm going to close my eyes
And walk away
Turn my back
Bow my head
And close my eyes
