	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song in a sadly moribund relationship that I always thought would go the distance. Confronted with the fact that it would not, I found myself trying all the prescribed methods to alleviate the hurting. However, in the end, I just reverted to the pad and pen and took an introspective look at the childlike vulnerability I was feeling and became the song's reluctant changeling. Lyrics Close your eyes and count to ten When you're through, I'll begin Use your fingers Use your toes Minutes fall like dominoes. Feel the seconds floating past Somewhere through the looking glass A frozen image just like you Always there but never true. All the little pieces fall Is it raining where you are? Have you forgotten me again? Close your eyes and count to ten. Before you know the game is gone But the hiding still goes on and on and on... And in your sleep who is wrong or right Now that you're alone at night? Morphean sheep your only friend Close your eyes and count to ten. All the little children call Would you catch me if I fall? Maybe you'd remember then Close your eyes and count to ten. Smiling when the faces fall Mirror mirror on the wall Staring back at me again Close your eyes... Close your eyes and let's pretend. She wore midnight blue And she swore that midnight too And she wore the flame of the candlelight.
