Doctor My Eyes

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years

And this slow parade of fears

Without crying

Now I want to understand

I have done all that I could

To see the evil and the good

Without hiding

You must help me if you can

Doctor my eyes

Tell me what is wrong

Was I unwise

To leave them open for so long?

'Cause I have, 'cause I have wandered through this world

As each moment has unfurled

I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams

People go just where they will

I never notice them until I've got this feeling that it's later than it seems

Doctor my eyes

Tell me what you see?

I hear the cries

Just saying it's too late for me

Doctor my eyes

I cannot see the sky

Is this the prize

For having learnt how not to cry?

Doctor my eyes

Doctor my eyes
