A different set of eyes for every story A heaven not so far away from hell A bittersweet reminder of the way things used to be Before that love we had around us slipped and fell It's right there in your eyes We can't go back the way we came There's more to lose and less to gain In dreams of yesterday There's no surprise You walk the wire you're bound to fall You run to him and I recall The time when you were mine When you were mine Now I may take a fast train Burn all my credentials as I go It's stranger than religion It's a realm of indecision It's the only place in town I want to go It's right there in your eyes We can't go back the way we came There's more to lose and less to gain In dreams of yesterday There's no surprise You walk the wire you're bound to fall You run to him and I recall The time when you were mine When you were mine At times like these don't disregard what's gone before There's always something worthwhile knockin' on your door It's right there in your eyes We can't go back the way we came There's more to lose and less to gain In dreams of yesterday There's no surprise You walk the wire you're bound to fall You run to him and I recall The time when you were mine When you were mine
