Close Your Eyes Lyrics

Steve Earle Close Your Eyes

I dreamed you were standing
On the edge of the world
And I thought I heard you call out
With one foot on the rock

And one a cloud
Was it just the wind that I heard?
Close your eyes
This world won't stop spinning you know

Close your eyes
Why don't you just let go?
Thousands of people searchin' out there
Most of 'em lookin' for love

But nothing is something
That there's plenty of
In time we'll all get our share

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 'fore I wake
Echoed all night in my head
