Won't you dry the tears from my eyes?   Won't you walk me through the night?   Won't you help me leave this stinking shadow behind?      There's no story to tell, there's no magic   I was given a life and I lived it   I was given two hands and I used them   I was given a heart and I lost it      In your eyes   But your eyes are gone   But your eyes are gone into oblivion      There's snow in the air and spring in the ground   As we're dragging ourselves around and around   And I'm laughing loud to melt the ice   I play the clown again      Somewhere in between the clouds   Somewhere in this roundabout   There's a voice that screams for life   There is love and there is light      In your eyes   But your eyes are gone   But your eyes are gone into oblivion      How long? How long?   You kick one off, you shoot one down   Another one will come around   My head is spinning, I try to stand still   If you see me will you help me   Say you will!      'cause there's a monster inside   And it sees through my eyes   And it speaks through my mouth   And it moves me around   But there is calm      In your eyes      Time arrives in tidal waves   It is washed across my face   Like when I was a boy, back in the old days   Like when every breath was uncertain      I held my head up, I held it high   I played my cards the best I could   I thought you understood   I thought you understood   I thought you understood   Every good thing could survive      In your eyes   But your eyes are gone   But your eyes are gone into oblivion   (Your eyes are gone into oblivion)   Into oblivion   (Your eyes are gone into oblivion)   Into oblivion   (Your eyes are gone into oblivion)   Into oblivion   (Your eyes are gone into oblivion)
