Bright Eyes Songtext
von The Timbre of Cedar

Wa-a-oh, Wa-a-oh, Wa-a-oh

Looking through younger eyes
Every moment froze in time
I dreamt of all I could become
I thought that I could be someone
Now I work a nine to five
Forty years till I retire
I count the days until that comes
How have I become so numb
And I watch as the colors leave my eyes

And I try to deny
The vacancy that haunts me
When I start to close my eyes
And when I wake I′m afraid
Of losing what ignites me
To the jealous grip of time
Oh, come back bright eyes


Running with younger bones
Chasing dreams became my home
Heading fast to the unknown
Wasn't scared of what I didn′t know
And then failure caught my eye
It was then that I realized
It'd hurt less if I didn't try
The day that I believed a lie
And I watch as the colors leave my eyes

And I try to deny
The vacancy that haunts me
When I start to close my eyes
And when I wake I′m afraid
Of losing what ignites me
To the jealous grip of time
Oh, come back bright eyes

Time′s a thief
And he plays for keeps you can't get it back
I know that
I have a choice to live with the time I have
I know that I was made for more than this
I know that I was made for more than this
I know that I was made for more than this
I know that I was made for more than this
I know that I was made for more than this
I know that I was made for more

Wa-a-oh, Wa-a-oh, Wa-a-oh
