When I Close My Eyes - Lizz Wright

When I close my eyes

I can almost taste you

I can’t face you

You’re still too strong

And it’s no surprise

I can’t erase you

I tried to replace you

But it all went wrong

'Cause seeds don’t crawl up the mountain

And they don’t fall

Far from the tree

And they don’t drop

Not when you’re counting

Or maybe that’s my sweet philosophy

Yeah, yeah, yeah

When I close my eyes

I dream about you

Tell me how to

Tell me how not to

Grab on to something new

I let my fate pass through

But instead I keep on holding on

I keep holding on

When I close my eyes

I think about you

I just can’t let you go

Oh, oh, oh, yeah
