When I was younger, in the days of my youth
I used to sit down and watch the river go down
And send my dreams there around the bend, hopin' they'd come back again.
But now long times go by
At least once a day, I sit and think about when you were holy
And eager to see what you could find; it's funny how you 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 feelin's inside, it's the peace of mind I seek
And you stand there starin', I'm standin' laughin', I come all this way
And all you ever said was, "That's OK".
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.
Music in your eyes,
God, I love to watch you dance
Now don't be feelin' shy
I know you know how
You're not sleeping now.
When I came into this town I knew my hands were bound
You say you have to pay for your 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.
Don't place me in a hole, that's not the way to do it
I know you want to be set free and let your love come shinin' on through
(Come on let it shine, now)
Music in your eyes
I can tell by your surprise
You've been doin' fine
Don't give me no more lies
We'll understand it all in time.
You know, you know, you know we'll understand it all in time.
