Planets

Close your eyelids, kiss them soft And keep the world that let them watch You are like Heaven when it's late The sun goes down the west side And I see a lace upon the pearly gates The stars are all exploding The moon is on its side The waves have finished washing And sweeping up the tide You feel like new birth A treasure chest No place for a bluebird In your nest And I'll take all the rest The stars are all exploding The moon is on its side The waves have finished washing And sweeping up the tide Pavements when my feet are cold You're reaching for my hand to hold Watching silver turn to gold And I'll love you 'til I'm gray and old The bar is closing We shuffle off to bed The Devil and his angel Composing in my head
