Close My Eyes Lyrics by Cowboy Junkies
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
I want to walk away
like Judas from the table.
Turn my back
and walk away.

I want to close my eyes
like that novice at the altar.
Bow my head
and close my eyes.

Sorrow took Love's splintered hands
and waltzed her 'cross a painted floor.
Whispered softly in her ear,
"let's get outta here".

I'm going to breathe the air
that my children will be breathing.
Breathe them out
and breathe them in again.

I'm going to close my eyes
And walk away.
Turn my back
bow my head
and close my eyes.
I want to walk away    like Judas from the table.   Turn my back   and walk away.      I want to close my eyes   like that novice at the altar.   Bow my head   and close my eyes.      Sorrow took Love's splintered hands   and waltzed her 'cross a painted floor.   Whispered softly in her ear,   "let's get outta here".      I'm going to breathe the air   that my children will be breathing.   Breathe them out   and breathe them in again.      I'm going to close my eyes   And walk away.   Turn my back   bow my head   and close my eyes.
