Heavy Eyes
Waking up twice an hour
Sounds of the night grow louder
I can still feel something
From the restless night before
All these memories are
Desperate trying to be more
More than fleeting dreams or
Rotting driftwood washed up on shore
How long can I wait
To feel the sunshine on my face
The dawn it will come soon
The distant stars and pale white moon
Will take their place behind
Morning skies and heavy eyes
Snapshots and memory making
Black and white and fading
There's a man looking nowhere
His once bright eyes are saying
Son, I could have been great and done
All these things... I could have won
Now I'm somewhere in between
The start and where I long to be
How long can I wait
To feel the sunshine on my face
The dawn it will come soon
The distant stars and pale white moon
Will take their place behind
Morning skies and heavy eyes
Running down dreams forgotten
Races we run so often
Have I been running blindly
Towards the brightest lights that I can see
Distantly they're shining on
Distantly they're shining on
I reach out to hold one in my hand
Twilight gleams and here I stand
How long can I wait
To feel the sunshine on my face
The dawn it will come soon
The distant stars and pale white moon
Will take their place behind
Morning skies and heavy eyes
Sounds of the night grow louder
I can still feel something
From the restless night before
All these memories are
Desperate trying to be more
More than fleeting dreams or
Rotting driftwood washed up on shore
How long can I wait
To feel the sunshine on my face
The dawn it will come soon
The distant stars and pale white moon
Will take their place behind
Morning skies and heavy eyes
Snapshots and memory making
Black and white and fading
There's a man looking nowhere
His once bright eyes are saying
Son, I could have been great and done
All these things... I could have won
Now I'm somewhere in between
The start and where I long to be
How long can I wait
To feel the sunshine on my face
The dawn it will come soon
The distant stars and pale white moon
Will take their place behind
Morning skies and heavy eyes
Running down dreams forgotten
Races we run so often
Have I been running blindly
Towards the brightest lights that I can see
Distantly they're shining on
Distantly they're shining on
I reach out to hold one in my hand
Twilight gleams and here I stand
How long can I wait
To feel the sunshine on my face
The dawn it will come soon
The distant stars and pale white moon
Will take their place behind
Morning skies and heavy eyes
