When I was younger 

in the days of my youth 

I used to sit down and watch the river go 

down 

and send my dreams there around the bend 

hoping they'd come back again 

Now long times go by 

at least once a day 

I sit and think about when you were holy 

and eager to see what you could find 

It's funny how we lost the time 



You wonder why I lay awake at night 

I just can't get to sleep 

It's not the devils or the feeling inside 

it's the peace of mind I seek 

and you stand there staring 

I'm standing laughing 

cause I've come all this way 

and all you ever said was that's OK 



Music in your eyes 

I can tell by your surprise 

You've been doing fine 

so don't give me no more lies 

We'll understand it all in time 



Music in your eyes 

God I love to watch you dance 

Don't be feeling shy 

I know you know how 

and we're not sleeping now 



When I came into this town 

I knew my hands were bound 

They said you have to pay for your ways 

or else go underground 

but I said 



Music in your eyes 

I can tell by your surprise 

You've been doing fine 

so don't give me no more lies 

We'll understand it all in time 



Don't place me in a hole 

cause that's not the way to prove it 

I have to keep on changing my face 

'til I can quit being confused by
