Oh I can feel like a light has left me
And I can feel like a wind-swept plain
And I can wait for the dawn to take me
And I can say it's always been the same
Living my life don't always please me
Living my life with what comes to hand
Facing the days and the times has changed me
Eileen, I understand
Eileen, I understand
Well I can see the situation
And I can feel unsure
And I can know more than my question
And I can know how I felt before
Living my life don't always please me
Living my life with what comes to hand
Facing the days and the times has changed me
Eileen, I understand
Eileen, I understand
See the boat out on the lake
Its light shining in the night
Hear the thunder is a coming
That boat'll make it back alright
Oh no need to doubt
What you see with your own eyes
Oh no need to doubt
Don't go telling yourself no lies
Eileen, oh
Eileen, I understand
Eileen, I understand
Eileen, I understand
