Cowboy Junkies - Close My Eyes lyrics

rate me

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.
