Close My Eyes (Acoustic)

(专辑： The Rarities - 2020)

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 the times rolled by
Still I feel like a 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 times 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 failing 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

But I closed my eyes
(You are, you're always a light)
Steadied my feet on the ground
(Mmm, mmm)
Raised my head to the sky
(Guardian angel)
And the times rolled by
(And the times rolled by)
Still I feel like a child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up a little too soon
