Close Your Eyes

Album: Memento Mori

[verse]
Good night, child, close your eyes
It is time to count the sheep
Jumping fences, brown or white
So relax until you sleep

Let your mind go fly away
Like the wind, a cloud, a bee
Over wide fields of golden hay
Beyond the mountains towards the sea

[chorus]
Then you'll find the magic land
That, awake, we can not see
Where all people are content
Where there's peace and joy and glee

There you're free to be or do
Anything you ever wish
You can get what you pursue
Fly with birds or swim with fish

[verse]
Start a band and play guitar
Fly a spaceship, be a cop
Or a famous TV star
Have your own great ice cream shop

Join a circus, play football
Meet your heroes, or be one
Swim under a waterfall
Live adventures and have fun

[chorus]
In this ride in the beyond
With no past or future, you can
Meet your loved ones who have gone
And feel them close to you again

And if by chance, in your ride
You should meet your lovely mom,
She would surely feel much pride
For the kid that you've become

[outro]
Close your eyes, sleep and then
Soon the night will pass so fast
And the sun will rise again
A brand new day will start at last
