She Closed Her Eyes |
| She closed her eyes |
| And let the walls of her prison fall away |
| The walls that ached with a timeless wait |
| They had become her walls of this modern TV life |
| She closed her eyes |
| And let them fall away |
| And in her dreams she is standing by an ocean |
| She is gazing out to sea |
| She can remember with just a fleeting glimpse |
| That she was once free |
| So long ago now, so long it was as if it had never been |
| Was it a holiday |
| She thinks it could have been, ah yes, Italy |
| And he closes his eyes |
| And he is gone far away |
| Gone from all this confusion |
| Gone from the pain |
| He can easily see what a pointless waste |
| This modern life has become |
| Chasing the gravy train |
| Chasing the dollar |
| Chasing the clock |
| Chasing his male friends |
| Chasing the boss |
| Chasing like it was everything |
| It was nothing |
| Only the sound of his own breathing was all he really had |
| At the end of the day |
| And reasons to wonder, reasons to cry |
| Too late for this selfish sinner who never asked why |
