Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And this slow parade of fears
Without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good
Without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise
To leave them open for so long?
'Cause I have, 'cause I have wandered through this world
As each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where they will
I never notice them until I've got this feeling that it's later than it seems
Doctor my eyes
Tell me what you see?
I hear the cries
Just saying it's too late for me
Doctor my eyes
I cannot see the sky
Is this the prize
For having learnt how not to cry?
Doctor my eyes
Doctor my eyes
