Dana Jon Chappelle - Close My Eyes lyrics

[Verse 1] I was 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 [Chorus] But I closed my eyes Steadied my feet on the ground Raised my head to the sky And though time's rolled by Still feel like a child As I look at the moon Maybe I grew up A little too soon [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] Nearing the edge Obvious I almost fell right over A part of me will never be quite able To feel stable That woman-child falling 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 (You're always alive) [Chorus]
