When i was younger in the days of my youth,
i used to sit down and watch the river go down,
and see my dreams roll 'round the bend,
hoping they'd come back again.
now a long time's gone by and at least once a day
i sit and think about when you were holy
and so eager to see what you could find;
now ain't it funny how we lost the time…
You wonder why i lay awake at night,
well i just can't get to sleep.
it's not the devils or the feelings inside,
it's the peace of mind i seek.
'cause you stand there laughin', i'm standin' starin'
and i've come all this way and all you ever said was,
"well, that's ok".
Music in your eyes, i can tell by your surprise,
you've been doin' fine, so don't give me no more lies;
we'll understand it all in time.
music in your eyes, my god, i'd love to watch you dance!
now don't be feelin' shy, 'cause i know you know how,
and you're not sleepy now.
When i came into this town i knew my hands were bounded;
i knew i'd have to pay for my ways or else go underground,
but i said, "music in your eyes, i can tell by your surprise,
that you've been doin' fine, so don't give me no more lies.
we'll understand it all in time".
I wouldn't place you in a hole, 'cause that's not the way to do it;
i know you want to be set free to let your love come shining on through;
so come on and shine now!
music in your eyes, i can tell by your surprise
that you've been doin' fine, so don't give me no more lies,
we'll understand it all in time.
you know, we'll understand it…
