Old Eyes Lyrics

Last night I woke up from a dream

Of suffering a heavy loss

And I tried but couldn't fall asleep

Cradled by my fleeting thoughts

Of all the emotion I had spilled

On mirror screens and lazy nights

What bitter symphony of guilt

Awoken in the empty nights

If only I knew how to tell you the reasons why

I'm still awaiting I'd come tonight

And relish in all that we have

And if you could see

The distance I feel lies ahead of me

Before I forget who we used to be

I want to be able to laugh

Old eyes in rooms hear distant cries

The open window gentle breeze

Wandering the local sites

And listening to Screaming Trees

Now of all the cowards in the room

Engaged in their elusive songs

I feel the most the weight of time

The fear of getting everything wrong

If only I knew how to tell you the reasons why

I'm still awaiting I'd come tonight

And relish in all that we have

And if you could see

The distance I feel lies ahead of me

Before I forget who we used to be

I want to be able to laugh

Over all of my wrongs

If only I knew how to tell you the reasons why

I'm still awaiting I'd come tonight

And relish in all that we have

And if you could see

The distance I feel lies ahead of me

Before I forget who we used to be

I want to be able to laugh
