When I Close My Eyes

I'm calm when snowflakes fall
And my face waits for them all
There they'll melt away

Your words find no reply
You trust me and I lie
When you ask how I am
And I blink fine

Because the living starts when I close my eyes
I'm made of moving parts and it's no surprise
That sunlight pulls me out of this trance
It's summer time and I can dance

But winter wakes me
When skin lifts so I can see
The frame of this twisted tree
All my branches bare
I'm deciduous

I'm touched by others' hands
Whilst I dwell on former plans
You might tell me not to
That I should focus on the now
So I must change these lenses
Please explain this - show me how

That's when the living starts - when I close my eyes
I'm made of moving parts and it's no surprise
That sunlight pulls me out of this trance
It's summer time and I can dance

Because the living starts when I close my eyes
I'm made of moving parts and it's no surprise
That sunlight pulls me out of this trance
It's summer time and I can dance
