Behind Closed Eyes

I can remember watching the hourglass
Grains falling
Following one another
It asked me what I was searching for
I just sighed, turned it over and watched it run out again

Behind closed eyes
One cannot see the fate of high spirits
Burning and crashing
A lonely vapor appearing
Sad phoenix rising from the ashes of life

I can remember listening to music to calm my busy mind
Because rainy days keep coming and clouding up my thoughts

And in the nighttime
I stand under the tree branches
The falling water chills to the blood, the muscles, the bones

Behind closed eyes
One cannot see the fate of high spirits
Burning and crashing
A lonely vapor appearing
Sad phoenix rising from the ashes of life
