Won't you dry the tears from my eyes?
Won't you walk me through the night?
Won't you help me leave this stinking shadow behind?
There's no story to tell, there's no magic
I was given a life and I lived it
I was given two hands and I used them
I was given a heart and I lost it
In your eyes
But your eyes are gone
But your eyes are gone into oblivion
There's snow in the air and spring in the ground
As we're dragging ourselves around and around
And I'm laughing loud to melt the ice
I play the clown again
Somewhere in between the clouds
Somewhere in this roundabout
There's a voice that screams for life
There is love and there is light
In your eyes
But your eyes are gone
But your eyes are gone into oblivion
How long? How long?
You kick one off, you shoot one down
Another one will come around
My head is spinning, I try to stand still
If you see me will you help me
Say you will!
'Cause there's a monster inside
And it sees through my eyes
And it speaks through my mouth
And it moves me around
But there is calm
In your eyes
Time arrives in tidal waves
It is washed across my face
Like when I was a boy, back in the old days
Like when every breath was uncertain
I held my head up, I held it high
I played my cards the best I could
I thought you understood
I thought you understood
I thought you understood
Every good thing could survive
In your eyes
But your eyes are gone
But your eyes are gone into oblivion
(Your eyes are gone into oblivion)
Into oblivion
(Your eyes are gone into oblivion)
Into oblivion
(Your eyes are gone into oblivion)
Into oblivion
(Your eyes are gone into oblivion)
