Closed Eyes

Closed eyes for the last time,And I was sure I was ready for this.I was so ready for this, but I was wrong.Closed eyes for the last time.And I've seen the best of youAnd I've seen the worst of you,Yet when I wake to find blood in your eyes it brings me to my knees.When I wake to find blood in your eyes it brings me to my knees (to my knees).And I was sure I was ready for this;I was so ready for this.Frail hands upon white sheets, closed eyes, eternal sleep.All life lost to the bottle (only a matter of time).But you were dead long before you died.Closed eyes for the last time.You were dead long before you died.As a child your eyes brought me solace;Now a man I find the mother I knew has faded.The mother I knew has faded.And when she left us it changed us all (this place has lost all colour)This place has lost all colour.Upon my shoulders I carried you home.And when I wake to find blood in your eyesI brings me to my knees.This brought me to my knees.
