For years I've been working And travelling alone I eat out in restaurants Where men wear cologne Recognized as a stranger Every place that I went Sometimes I just close my eyes And begin my descent I'll swim in the ocean When the water is high And I'll find your bracelet I just have to try And the sky is so open And the wind's heading south Sometimes I just close my eyes And put my hand on my mouth One time in a castle With turrets aglow I cast incantations So carnations will grow And I heard you were worried From a shell by the sea Sometimes I just close my eyes So you don't worry about me When you're lost in the meadows You just have to stand And I looked for the farmhouse It was covered in sand And the fire of the moonlight Made everything white I just had to close my eyes And dream it one night In the classroom the children Gather their hands They're dancing to some chanson From some ancient land And they're spinning in circles And the spirits they weep I'm just gonna close my eyes Rest is as good as sleep.
