Look  inside the mirror
 But I don't  know who I see
Smoke  another cigarrete
 A smile  rolls back the tears
This  contradiction seems  to be
 The story  of my life
 A simple  man with memories  of
 Those long  lost golden  days
 I close  my eyes and slowly  drift away
 Mistakes  I've made
 Remind me  of the roads
 I shouldn't choose
Never  comes that easy  when
 There's nothing  left to lose
I  cant see answers  tell me
 Why  am I so blind?
A  tired man, I'll make  the best
 Of another  lonley  day
 I close  my eyes and slowly  drift away
Never  thought I'd make  it
 Just by playing  my guitar
Just  a little smile always
Shelters  me from pain
Every  time I start  to slide
 I  wish upon  a star
 The sun  comes up
 And dries up all the rain
I'm  an honest man who refuses
 Shade on a hot  and lonely  day
I  close my eyes and dream  my life away
Now  I know that I can  stop the rain
Close  my eyes and slowly  drift away
Close  my eyes and dream  my life away
Close  my eyes and slowly  drift away
Close  my eyes dream  my life away.
