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
