Close My Eyes (3:21)
- A "Man of War" -song by Eterman in 24.8.2001
- Yeah, finally got the sound work out the way I wanted it all along.
Thanks to Idaho, for the story and for inspiring music.
Sometimes it just doesn't seem to get plain enough.
It was sheer inspiration from the very beginning.
I cannot say there was much work in the process.
There was more work in not playing, singing and
thinking about the themes, all the time,
as I tried to prove myself there that I
do have a live besides composing.
And I do, truth to tell. Sometimes I just tend to
forget it. Shame be unto me.
Peace be unto you, my friends.

0 00 "I want to close my eyes and know that you are there.
48 I want to close my ears hearing your voice. To
96 feel you near, then I need not fear. To
144 have you standing on my side.
1 00 "I want to lean against the wind and still be safe.
48 I want to shed my tears, knowing: they won't fall. To
96 feel you breathe, then it's all I need. So
144 I feel, no more do I wish."
3 00 "(I) don't know how I feel. Deep inside. Storm
48 raging in my heart, where feelings bide. What
96 could I say, all my feelings fey. Which
144 of these thoughts are just? And
4 00 "when I turn to you, all goes blur. I
48 can't control my thoughts, in this struggle. But
96 in your eyes, I can see no lies. They
144 tell me all I need.
5 00 "I want to turn around and still behold your presence.
48 I want to run away, you on my side. To
96 trust in me, trust what one can't see. To
144 gain the peace deep inside.
6 00 "When the dusk arrives, when night falls, a ray
48 of light remains, dancing in my veins. And
96 in your eyes, my comfort lies. For
144 ever, I know, you will be...
8 00 "I want to close my eyes and feel that you are there.
48 I want to close my ears, hearing your breath. It's
96 you I want, in your presence I pine to
144 know for sure: you'll be mine.

And as Marius sings in Les Miserables (such a magnificent
musical): "The words are foolish, but they're true". And that just is the
case. The best of words are always seemingly foolish. Truth never tends
to be the most rational option.
The greatest marvels are found in a human heart.
There wonders lie within truths.
For what is the greatest miracle,
If not this fire in one's soul?
Truth isn't anything you discover,
there is no open path provided.
Truth is something you make happen.
Love is found from inside,
within all the other great marvels,
beneath good intensions,
below an open mind,
next to benevolence,
above hope and trust,
in the centre of existence.
And yet again I present a song with written lyrics only. Well, I ain't
much of a singer myself. And putting vocals in tracked music never
works anyhow. It just doesn't. Use your imagination or sing by yourself.
I myself cannot avail.
