Only A Vision
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can't see you when I look at you
Only see you in my memory
When I find you it's just outside my sight line
Between experience and fantasy
Don't bear up to close inspection
Close inspection of the cold hard facts
Blow in and out of my life like a spirit
My eye can't see you but my mind reacts
Only a vision in the corner of my eye
Only a vision that I see out of the corner of my eye
Only a vision
Said you loved me
Heard that plain as day
I should lose this
Vision fade away
What's holding on to me
Just some state of mind
Feeling's coming on
One more time
Close inspection
I've checked this out again and again
And it won't respond to cold hard facts
Then you blow in and out of my life like a spirit
My mind knows better but my heart reacts
Only a vision in the corner of my eye
Only a vision that I see out of the corner of my eye
Only a vision girl
I wish that vision that I'm seeing was real
