Close My Eyes

(album: You're Lookin' At Country - 1971)

I know he knows I'm dead so why don't he close my eyes
Cause as long as they stay open I can see where my heart lies
It's buried at his feet and when he steps on it it cries
Ev'rybody knows I'm dead so why don't they close my eyes

My blue eyes are open wide and I can see her take my place
I'm numb still I can feel the dirt he's throwing in my face
He was ev'ry breath I breathe so how could I survive
Ev'rybody knows I'm dead so why don't they close my eyes

My blue eyes are open wide and I can see her take my place
I'm numb still I can feel the dirt he's throwing in my face
He was ev'ry breath I breathe so how could I survive
Ev'rybody knows I'm dead so why don't they close my eyes
