Looking out in the distance, I see the skies are grey
A tiny cork in the ocean, floating in this sea astray.
Who will come to save me, and bring me back to shore?
There's only one I need babe, like every time before.

Every time I close my eyes, you're looking back at me
Every time I close my eyes, I'm free
Every time I close my eyes, you're sitting next to me
So I'll just close my eyes and see

Feeling lost in the ether, forever cast aside
This mixed up world keeps hitting me, chipping into my pride
Won't you come to save me, and free me from this curse?
You're my only light babe, the one who'll hit reverse

Every time I close my eyes, you're looking back at me
Every time I close my eyes, I'm free
Every time I close my eyes, you're sitting next to me
So I'll just close my eyes and see

Close your eyes, babe, and shut out all the noise
Close your eyes, babe, before you lose your mind
Close your eyes, babe, you'll be better in the dark
Close your eyes, and we'll both be blind

Looking out in the distance, those skies have changed to blue
There's no need to be frightened, when I'm sitting here with you
You have all but saved me, from the bitter dreary world
You're the one for me, babe, for this I give my word

Every time I close my eyes, you're looking back at me
Every time I close my eyes, I'm free
Every time I close my eyes, you're looking back at me
Every time I close my eyes, I'm free
Every time I close my eyes, you're looking back at me
Every time I close my eyes, I'm free
Every time I close my eyes, you're sitting next to me
So I'll just close my eyes and see
