Il testo della Close my eyes

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 though times roll 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 close my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time 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 flailing 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
As i close my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raise my head to the sky
And though time rolled by
Still i feel like a child
As i look at the moon
Maybe i grew up, a little too soon
