"Close Your Eyes" - Edward Bear (1973)

I dreamed she came back home last night
Asked her where she'd been
She said I've been around the world and
It almost did me in
She said I hope you didn't wait too long
I have no sense of time
I see you've written one Last Song
And I realized it's mine
Think of all the times we talked
Sing a nursery rhyme

Close your eyes
I'm right beside you
Run for miles you know I'll find you
Cause it's all the same
Change your lovers
Change your name
If you need a friend
Close your eyes
I'm back again

She really came back home last night
Seemed as if she'd changed
Said that she go back to school
And try things once again
But you know it didn't take too long
Till she lost her way
And all the reason in the world could see
She couldn't stay
As I helped her pack her things
It didn't hurt to say

Close your eyes
I'm right beside you
Run for miles you know I'll find you
Cause it's all the same
Change your lovers
Change your name
If you need a friend
Close your eyes
I'm back again

Cause it's all the same
Change your lovers
Change your name
If you need a friend
Close your eyes
I'm back again

Never heard it...

[Laura--I wuv u all :)]

Not ringing a bell with me either!

I remember this one well. It was their followup to Last Song. Minor hit. Not bad, but I like another minor hit of theirs better - You Ma and Mexico.

oops... that should be You, Me, and Mexico. - Ma wasn't invited. ;D

They are Canadian group named after Winnie the Pooh.

[KittyKat - RIP Luciano]

The lyrics seem familiar but I can't place the title or artist.

[Dawn]

Not as well remembered as Last Song, but a nice tune. I have an mp3 of it.

[Ken]

I know it!!! a great tune. It was a big hit up here reaching #3 on the Canadian charts in 1973. The guys spent the summer of '73 playing summer fairs and theme parks.At one point , not sure when but they were the opening act for Led Zeppelin - twice!

Drummer and singer Larry Evoy mentions that in the liner notes to the CD The Edward Bear Collection.
