[Guitar tacit]
When I close my eyes
I can see forever
And the leaves on the trees
Are a brilliant green
[tab]
My heart hears the sound[/tab]
[tab]
Of a dis - tant calling[/tab]
[tab] [Riff 1]
The wind on my face says to me[/tab]
[tab]
I ve got to live my life[/tab]
[tab]
di - fferently[/tab]
[Chorus]
[tab]
When I close my eyes[/tab]
[tab]
I can see forever[/tab]
[tab]
And the leaves on the trees[/tab]
[tab]
Are a brill-iant green[/tab]
[tab]
My heart hears the sound[/tab]
[tab]
Of a dis - tant calling[/tab]
[tab] [Riff 1]
The wind on my face says to me[/tab]
[tab]
I ve got to live my life[/tab]

[Verse]
[tab]
I say goodbye to spring[/tab]
[tab]
And farewell to summer[/tab]
[tab]
Hello to falling leaves[/tab]
[tab]
My life looks small[/tab]
[tab]
In the face of change[/tab]
[tab]
The wind feels too strong for me[/tab]
[tab]
I say goodbye to safe[/tab]
[tab]
Goodbye to certain[/tab]
[tab]
Hello to what is new[/tab]
[tab]
It s the best and worst[/tab]
[tab]
Of times together[/tab]
[tab]
In the storm I forget what is true[/tab]
[Chorus]
I say okay I don t know
Okay I m afraid
I ll take it one step at a time
It may take a while
For the fog to burn off
Time be my friend for a while
[Chorus]
[Bridge/solo]
[Riff 1]
[Riff 1]
I say goodbye to control
It s such an illusion
Hello to the truth of my need
The promise of presence
Is all that I have now
Sometimes I don t believe
[Chorus]
[tab]
When I close my eyes[/tab]
