Close My Eyes

(William Reedy)

William Reedy
At the end of a long life, a loved one says goodbye.
Chorus...
Close my eyes when I slip away, close my eyes when I slip away
Peace is coming any day, close my eyes when I slip away

I could crawl into a hole, I could crawl into a hole
Ease my mind and save my soul, I could crawl into a hole
When I go beneath the ground, when I go beneath the ground
Then you won’t see me around, when I go beneath the ground
Chorus...

Underneath the hot sunlight, underneath the hot sunlight
See my bones a’gleaming white underneath the hot sunlight
Fear be gone and pain be dull, fear be gone and pain be dull
When ants crawl inside my skull, fear be gone and pain be dull
Chorus...

When I taste eternity, when I taste eternity
Will you still remember me when I taste eternity?
When the rooster crows at dawn, when the rooster crows at dawn
I will still be dead and gone, when the rooster crows at dawn
Chorus...
