Then I Close My Eyes

The evening star shines brighter now

The sunset fades to black

As surface conversation nears its end

I find a melancholy lyric in each song I try to sing

And I pretend that it’s not happening again


Chorus:

Then I close my eyes and let the curtain fall

I see her face and then I know she’s with me after all

It may seem that I’ve moved on ‘cause I wear a good disguise

But then I close my eyes



No one would ever notice

I play my part so well

Like I could easily put her love behind

But there’s an ever present ember that rises up again

And she stakes her claim upon my heart and mind


Chorus:

Then I close my eyes and let the curtain fall

I see her face and then I know she’s with me after all

It may seem that I’ve moved on ‘cause I wear a good disguise

But then I close my eyes
