I CLOSED MY EYES-REGGAE 1

Lyrics

​[Verse 1] I had to close my weary eyes, just for a passing chill And when the morning sun arose, the seasons changed their will Nothing looks like yesterday, everything is dressed in gray Like the evening fell too fast, inside the woods today I used to walk upon this earth, like I was the reigning king But I didn't see the dust of time, to my footsteps cling ​[Chorus] But tell me, who is this stranger inside the broken glass? This face of stone and chalk, watching the seasons pass... The little boy has faded away, lost inna the heavy mist He left without a goodbye word, leaving no final kiss ​[Verse 2] Between the loves of just one night and the desires of a youth I forgot to see the road ahead, forgot to learn the truth The beautiful years, you see, were written with a lighter ink But I didn't have the eyes to read, standing on the brink Now the sky is bending low, the wind is growing heavy, lord We got to roll our sleeves up high, to face the coming road ​[Bridge] So we must find a quiet space, and make ourselves a prayer Find a place to lean our soul, and leave behind the care Accept the changing of the lines, the weathering of the skin And pick a different kind of rose, let a new day begin ​[Outro] Yeah, time has done its work... So soft and slow... Just for a little moment, lord... I let my eyelids go.
