Old Eyes

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
