Eyes Wide Open Lyrics
Eyes wide open
To the great train robbery
Of my soul
Impending blindnessOf the kind that's
Beyond my control
Eyes wide open
To the secret forestBehind those tear-filled trees
Heart rending blindness
Won't testify that
I'm on my kneesMaybe I'm a little young to care
Maybe I'm a little old to cry
I don't knowMaybe I'm a little weak to dance
Maybe I'm a little strong to die
I don't knowConcentrating
Love and I'm hating
Myself again
ImpersonatingThe smallest shadow
Of my original self againMaybe I'm a little young to care
Maybe I'm a little old to cry
I don't knowMaybe I'm a little weak to dance
Maybe I'm a little strong to die
I don't knowDoes anybody really want to grasp my hand
and lift me to my feet?
Does anybody really want to be the breeze
that frightens off this heat?
Eyes wide openMaybe I'm a little young to love
Eyes wide open
Maybe I'm a little young to love
Eyes wide open
Maybe I'm a little young to love
Eyes wide openMaybe I'm a little young to love
Maybe I'm a little young to love
Maybe I'm a little young to love
