Lizz Wright Lyrics
"When I Close My Eyes"

When I close my eyes
I can almost taste you
I can't face you
You're still too strong

And it's no surprise
I can't erase you
I tried to replace you
But it all went wrong

'Cause seeds don't crawl off the mountains
And they don't fall
Fall from the tree
And they don't drop

Not when you're counting
Or maybe that's my sweet philosophy
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Mmm ...

When I close my eyes
I dream about you
Tell me how to
Tell me how not to

Grab on to something new
I looked my fate past through
But instead I keep on holding on
I keep holding on

When I close my eyes
I think about you
I just can't let you go
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
