[Guitar tacit]
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
                      [Riff 1]
The wind on my face says to me
                 
I've got to live my life
                        
  di - fferently


[Chorus]
          
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
                      [Riff 1]
The wind on my face says to me
                 
I've got to live my life
                        
  di - fferently


[Verse]
                
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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]
[Bridge/solo]
    [Riff 1]
    [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

[Chorus]

          
When I close my eyes
