Close your eyes, go to sleep Some things are just what they seem to be I don't care for artful games Never doubt just what you mean to me I chased my heart out on my sleeve There it stays to guess at who you want to be And you may use it as you need For what it's worth, I think it is the best of me Strangely wrought, but freely given If you need it, have it all And in time you'll chase your demons off You'll run with the fire without burning out And if all should fail, you know I'd be there still I'm frail of heart, but I'm strong of will These are the facts Small things you might need to know some day So let your mind wander for a while You have the time The strangest dreams may yet come alive You'll be all right Where you go is not my business But if I can, I'll guide you home And in time you'll chase your demons off You'll run with the fire without burning out If you fall, if you fail, you know I'll be there still I may be frail of heart, but I'm strong of will These are the facts Small things you might need to know some day There's a minute in each hour when the thought is hard to hold There's a hollow right at my doorstep where the draft is bittercold, And the pitfalls are too many and too close Some things are inconvenient to know That's how it goes These are the facts Small things you might need to know some day If your world should come apart You might need to know some day
