Lyrics
Close Your Eyes
Words and Music by Robin Lake © 2005
Close your eyes old woman
You know you are weary
Can you name the reason?
So many reasons.
They could be political
They could be personal
Deception on the outside
Confusion on the inside.
Every day of your life
You have worked it out
To be busy with nothing at all
Always something or someone to worry about
Close your eyes, close your eyes.
Close your eyes old woman
You know you are lonely
Can you name the reason?
So many reasons
They are universal
They are individual
Isolation on the outside
Hunger on the inside.
Every day of your life you have worked it out
To be busy with nothing at all
Always something or someone to worry about
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Go to sleep, sleep, sleep.
