Close my eyes for me
Won't you let me fall back into those dreams again?
Floating on a cloud somewhere up above it all
Far away to a sunset most amazing your eyes won't believe
Don't you worry sweet little thing I won't let you fall
Like diamonds in your eyes as we write our names on that canvas in the sky
Wouldn't it be something just to take a leap somewhere into infinity?
Somewhere into a great nowhere, something we thought our eyes would never see
Could you just let yourself go?
A daydreamer's dream is quite wonderful you know...
There's a dandelion in the form of a cloud in the sky
And I feel like i could lay here on my back forever
When life's given me no sense of direction there's nothing else to do
It's so quiet out here in this great nowhere
I could stay here forever and stare at that moon
There's a cricket on the patch of blue grass beside me
And he's singing a sweet little tune in my ear for me
A butterfly's sitting on my shoulder, I guess it's a simple life in a place like this
The most amazing little things seem to draw near
It's a wonderful thing you know when your thoughts seem meaningful and clear
When I'm lost in another one of my daydreamer's dream
I only wish that you could see this dream of mine
Somewhere sitting on a mountain range
I could hear the cliffs and messages they sang for me
The view from here is truly something I wish you could see
Down in the valley I let all my memories go
A letter crinkled and worn with age buried somewhere in the snow
Where did all those days go? A pocket full of dreams and I have nothing to show
And it feels like I still have so much more left to go, sitting atop this mountain in the snow
In the back of my head I lose myself again to all those long lost melodies
Childhood memories and make believe was all that we had back then
And now we're getting older, oh so much older
It seems like it's becoming easier just to let go
Oh, I never want to let go
A great nowhere is all that I need
Me and my dreams to keep me company
The loneliest lonely is not all that it's made out to be
And in the desert there's another side of me
A great nothing, a not so wildly familiar side to everything
If I could close my eyes and lay under those empty skies again
I'd try to imagine a better memory to who I was this time last year
A better version than that old whisper on the desert wind
Wandering aimlessly in the sand not too far from here
Is that all too familiar memory of the boy I was back then
As you close my eyes for me this final time
I'm getting ready to take my leave on a ship
Bound for a distant dream all too far from here
I came here looking for some kind of sign
To tell me maybe it would be different this time
I found myself falling into an all too familiar scene
Surrounded by nothing but a vast and barren sea
I grew a beard and shouted my battle cries into the wind
This time around I guess I can't but answer for all my sins
I never was going to go down without putting up a fight
And in those last few moments when I see that light
I'll show the world that a dreamer will forever be
The last to go down in that sea of dreams
For this world is a world of all too familiar tragedies...
