Let Babylon Burn - Eyes Closed

Another night falls, and I gaze at the moon so bright
Saw a distant star — and thought of your light… your light
Stuck inside these four walls for most of this long year
Thought a few drinks might help it all disappear

It’s been a while now, months since you walked away
Dealin’ with the karma of each passin’ day
Still holdin’ back these tears for all the world to see
While my bredren and sistren feelin’ free

This year started different — back in that sunrise glow
Now I step in this bar, and the sadness starts to flow
Every melody plays like an echo of your name
And I feel that lump form in my throat just the same
‘Cause I’m here alone… yeah, here alone
Just swayin’ with my eyes closed

Everywhere I look, your face I still can see
And the hands of the clock move slow for me
Don’t know what else to do in this empty space
So I keep on swayin’ at my own slow pace

This year started different — back in that sun-crime glow
Now I step in this bar, and the sadness starts to flow
Every melody plays like an echo of your name
And I feel that lump form in my throat just the same
‘Cause I’m here alone… yeah, here alone
Just swayin’ with my eyes closed

Delusion come again like a false dawn’s light
And I swear you’re walkin’ out the dark of the night
One whispered word pull me right back in that dream
Then it’s only I in this lonely moonbeam

Could just pretend the colors ain’t all blue
But I lost more than a friend when I lost a piece of you

This year started different — back in that sun rise glow
Now I sit in this bar, and the sadness starts to flow
Every melody plays like an echo of your name
And I feel that lump rise in my throat just the same
‘Cause I’m here alone… yeah, here alone
Still swayin’ with my eyes closed
