Close My Eyes Lyrics

I belong a hundred miles from anyone
Dreaming of my past along the shore
It took a while to realise the burning side
of life alone and life to come from now
All my instincts tell me that I need to know
What it's like tumbling down
And pretty minds and pretty thoughts control my life
And getting old is something we all know

But who ever thought it would be
Such a long time coming
Holding on to a dream

So I close my eyes and keep them tight for a real long time
I close my eyes and hope that I see you
You and I should roll the dice one last time
'Cos the the moment I hold you to me is when I stop running
Is when I stop running
The 747 is all mine tonight
I never look down
I never look out at all
I drink for one, I drink for two and then I drink for three
Until I see a light shining down on me

And who ever thought it would be
Such a long time coming
Holding on to a dream

So I close my eyes and keep them tight for a real long time
I close my eyes and hope that I see you
You and I should roll the dice one last time
'Cos the the moment I hold you to me is when I stop running
And I won't let you go
I need you to know this time
I won't let you go, tonight

So I close my eyes and keep them tight for a real long time
I close my eyes and hope that I see you
You and I should roll the dice one last time
'Cos the the moment I hold you to me is when I stop running
Is when I stop running
