Eyes closed for the winter We let it pass us by Eyes closed when it comes around That's how we pass the time Don't let it fade There's still so much to say A thousand words unsaid You said they're better left in my head But I'll do it, I'll do it anyway And I'll take it, take it day by day And I'll do it, I'll do it anyway Eyes closed for the winter We let it pass us by Eyes closed when it comes around That's how we pass the time Eyes closed for the winter We let it pass us by Eyes closed when it comes around That's how we pass the time We can try again Once the rivers run itself dry And we can fill it up Just don't get it wrong this time Eyes closed for the winter We let it pass us by Eyes closed when it comes around That's how we pass the time Eyes closed for the winter We let it pass us by Eyes closed when it comes around That's how we pass That's how we pass the time
