Lyrics Steve Earle

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
