Close My Eyes

lyrics

Close My Eyes
I’ve been hoping all of the day
You would take me far from this place
But in my wanting hands, a heart of diamond grace
Blue blood soothing, red fire burns away

I’ve been swimming as fast as I can
Deep dark waters, where I offered up my hands
But in my hour of need
The answer through me clear
She calmed my kicking feet
and whispered in my ear

Chorus
Close my eyes and the world is new
Life goes by, it’s all I long for
Where every sorrow soothed

Crystal carving, the weaving of fate
Guard disarming to pull my fears away
But though my will was strong I’m falling to my knees
Here undying peace

Chorus
Close my eyes and the world is new
Life goes by, it’s all I long for
Where every sorrow soothed
Let my life for her love come through
Your will’s mine
