Closed Eyes Lyrics

She's sorry that she missed your call

She had so much to do but now she's

So sorry that she missed it all

I guess there's nothing left but to say

Hey, she hopes you're doing well

She's still here by herself but she wont cry

Maybe there are no tears to fall behind closed eyes

She never used to say your name

Not until the night was drawing near

So tired of standing in the rain

The only thing that hides her from her fear

Now she's stuck inside her shell

A self created hell where she can't sleep

She's counting demons when she should have counted sheep

Wilted old roses and memories forgotten

Photos of babes wrapped in sheets of white cotton

Unopened letters still tied up with strings

Those were a few of her favorite things.

She's doing so much better here

That's the story that I'd like to tell you

But she's getting worse with every year

The medication pulls her mind further away

The same thing every day

She doesn't want to stay but she can't leave

If you could see her waste away you'd not believe

She's sorry that she missed your call

She had so much to say but now she's

So sorry that she missed it all

I guess there's nothing left but to say

Hey, she hopes you're doing well

She's still here by herself but she wont cry

Maybe there are no tears to fall behind closed eyes

Childhood affection now lost to the ages

Blissful abandon now trapped in steel cages

Dreams that would burn with the hope that they'd bring

Those were a few of her favorite things

Eyes full of wonder for what could come after

Echoes of voices that once screamed with laughter

Memories of love in the days where she'd sing

These are the last of her favorite things
