Close Your Eyes

Steve Earle


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
