lisa cerbone - close your eyes lyrics

[verse 1]
his hand was large against my breast
i gave him my body but he was never impressed
and when i took off my dress he said
“i guess you haven’t lost that weight since your baby.”
this coming from a man who’s balding
a man who’ll someday probably weigh 280

[chorus]
i tell him to close your eyes, close your eyes
dream of someone pretty from a magazine
from a magazine if you like

[verse 2]
there’s a baby crying in the cradle
just beyond the nursery door
searching for something to hold onto
the first of many longings in the dark
i say, “hеre now, here now, what’s bеhind those tears?
just the shadows playing on the wall
there’s no reason to be scared
to be scared, my dear.”

[verse 3]
your father was just another failure
your father was just another drunk
and he never paid the rent when it was due
i caught him sneaking around with some sl+t
and he stumbled like my own dad in this very same town
and he never met me at the station
though i can’t say i really waited there to find out
[chorus]
i tell myself to close your eyes, close your eyes
dream of something pretty like the ocean
like the ocean in the summertime

[verse 2]
there’s a baby crying in the cradle
just beyond the nursery door
searching for something to hold onto
the first of many longings in the dark
i say, “here now, here now, what’s behind those tears?
just the shadows playing on the wall
there’s no reason to be scared
to be scared, my dear.”

[chorus]
i tell her to close your eyes, close your eyes
because there’s nothing special in this world
except your birthday, except your birthday…
surprise
