(July 2005)



Lucy takes the hallway,
Of darkened doors, with darkened days,
Her calm betrayed by a rustling in the leaves.

Rings upon her fingers,
And curlers in her hair,
She rolls about the dance floor but she’s not there.

Close your eyes and make it go away
Close your eyes and make it go away
Close your eyes and make it go away

Calling out at night-time,
And smiling through clenched teeth,
The wind it makes her angry raging free.

Incandescent futures,
Abound by tainted dreams,
Time it wounds all heels but pain remains.

Close your eyes and make it go away
Close your eyes and make it go away
Close your eyes and make it go away
Away
Away

Lucy sits in silence,
To the beating of a fan,
She wipes away the sweat with gentle hands.

All in time step forward,
Now swing round to the right,
If you move throughout the day then she’ll be right.

Close your eyes and make it go away
Close your eyes and make it go away
Close your eyes and make it go away
