Attic Lights

Bright Eyes

Album: Never By Myself [2018]
Author: Mike Batt

Is it a kind of a dream

Floating out on the tide 

Following the river of death downstream 

Oh, is it a dream? 

There's a fog along the horizon 

A strange glow in the sky 

And nobody seems to know where it goes 

And what does it mean?

Oh, is it a dream?

 

Bright eyes, burning like fire 

Bright eyes, how can you close and fail? 

How can the light that burned so brightly

Suddenly burn so pale? 

Bright eyes

 

Is it a kind of a shadow 

Reaching into the night 

Wandering over the hills unseen 

Or is it a dream? 

There's a high wind in the trees 

A cold sound in the air 

And nobody ever knows when you go 

And where do you start? 

Oh, into the dark

 

Bright eyes, burning like fire 

Bright eyes, how can you close and fail? 

How can the light that burned so brightly

Suddenly burn so pale? 

Bright eyes

 

Bright eyes, burning like fire 

Bright eyes, how can you close and fail? 

How can the light that burned so brightly

Suddenly burn so pale? 

Bright eyes
