Close Your Eyes Lyrics by Lisa Cerbone

Close Your Eyes

0

[Verse 1]
His hand was large against my breast
I gave him my body but he was never impressed
And when I took off my dress he said
“I guess you haven’t lost that weight since your baby.”
This coming from a man who’s balding
A man who’ll someday probably weigh 280
[Chorus]
I tell him to close your eyes, close your eyes
Dream of someone pretty from a magazine
From a magazine if you like
[Verse 2]
There’s a baby crying in the cradle
Just beyond the nursery door
Searching for something to hold onto
The first of many longings in the dark
I say, “hеre now, here now, what’s bеhind those tears?
Just the shadows playing on the wall
There’s no reason to be scared
To be scared, my dear.”
[Verse 3]
Your father was just another failure
Your father was just another drunk
And he never paid the rent when it was due
I caught him sneaking around with some slut
And he stumbled like my own dad in this very same town
And he never met me at the station
Though I can’t say I really waited there to find out
[Chorus]
I tell myself to close your eyes, close your eyes
Dream of something pretty like the ocean
Like the ocean in the summertime
[Verse 2]
There’s a baby crying in the cradle
Just beyond the nursery door
Searching for something to hold onto
The first of many longings in the dark
I say, “here now, here now, what’s behind those tears?
Just the shadows playing on the wall
There’s no reason to be scared
To be scared, my dear.”
[Chorus]
I tell her to close your eyes, close your eyes
Because there’s nothing special in this world
Except your birthday, except your birthday…
Surprise
