Close your eyelids Kiss them soft And keep the world there Let them watch You are like heaven When it's late The Sun goes down the west side And I see lace upon the pearly gates
The stars are all exploding The Moon is on its side The waves have finished washing And sweeping up the tide
You feel like new bird A treasure chest No place for a bluebird In your nest But I'll take all the rest
The stars are all exploding The Moon is on its side The waves have finished washing And sweeping up the tide
The pavement's wet My feet are cold You're reaching for my hand to hold Watching silver turn to gold And I'll love you till I'm grey and old
The bar is closing We shuffle off to bed The devil and his angel Composing in my head
