I know where you’re going
And I see where you’ve been
Patience is a virtue
And mine with you is wearing thin

It’s easy to sit and wait

Speak with words you’ve stolen
From better men than you
Doors they helped you open
In time will cease to let you through

Is it easy to stand and sigh?
Bid another friend goodbye

Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

Lights can shine too bright, dear,
nobody can see
Hide safe behind your light, dear,
But understand it won’t blind me

And I know it would do no good,
But I’d hurt you if I could

Oh,
See my eyes,
Oh,
Open wide,
Oh,
Speak up now,
Oh,
Or hold your peace forever and be done

Eyes down, door closed
Keep quiet, growing old
I know you, I see you
Cling to, the road you ride on
Homeless, more or less
Skin and bone, on your own
I’ll be alright, I’m doing fine
Keep my tongue behind my
Teeth and, get gone
You never were anyone
Keep your words, keep your mind
I’ll keep my tongue behind my teeth
Tongue behind my teeth

And I know it would do no good,
But I’d hurt you if I could
