When I close my eyes

I can see forever

And the leaves on the trees

Are a brilliant green

My heart hears the sound

Of a dis - tant calling

Am7 D11 [Riff 1]

The wind on my face says to me

I've got to live my life

di - fferently

When I close my eyes

I can see forever

And the leaves on the trees

Are a brill-iant green

My heart hears the sound

Of a dis - tant calling

Am7 D11 [Riff 1]

The wind on my face says to me

I've got to live my life

di - fferently

I say goodbye to spring

And farewell to summer

Hello to falling leaves

My life looks small

In the face of change

The wind feels too strong for me

I say goodbye to safe

Goodbye to certain

Hello to what is new

It's the best and worst

Of times together

In the storm I forget what is true

I say okay I don't know

Okay I'm afraid

I'll take it one step at a time

It may take a while

For the fog to burn off

Time be my friend for a while

Am7 D11 [Riff 1]

Am7 D11 [Riff 1]

I say goodbye to control

It's such an illusion

Hello to the truth of my need

The promise of presence

Is all that I have now

Sometimes I don't believe

When I close my eyes
