Close Your Eyes

Iris DeMent


I wish I had a saxophone
I'd play the blues til you came home
With a little sadness in your eye
Now that all my time was spent
In you walked you're heaven sent
Thinking 'bout all the nights you cried

Had a certain passion
And I had silly dreams
All of the vicious actions
Don't close your eyes to me

I wish I had a camera lens
To film the things my mind had said
Before they reached my mouth and got all bent
Looking up the skies of blue
All day long I think of you
Even after all the shit we've been through

Had a certain passion
And I had silly dreams
All of the vicious actions
Don't close your eyes to me
