close my eyes

Cowboy Junkies

I want to walk away
Like judas from the table
Turn my back
And walk away

I want to close my eyes
Like that novice at the altar
Bow my head
And close my eyes

Sorrow took love's splintered hands
And waltzed her 'cross a painted floor
Whispered softly in her ear
"let's get outta here"

I'm going to breathe the air
That my children will be breathing
Breathe them out
And breathe them in again

I'm going to close my eyes
And walk away
Turn my back
Bow my head
And close my eyes
