Lyrics
Dust In My Eye
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 need no help, no aid
I don't need your assistance
I stand alone my friend
And you can walk on by
Don't think I'm lonely
Cos I'm drinking here alone
Sometimes it's easier
To spend time on my own
Chorus:
You didn't mean to make me sad
You didn't aim to make me cry
I wouldn't really feel so bad
It's just dust in my eye
You were my yesterdays
I'm looking for tomorrows
You keep the fun you had
And I will keep the sorrows
I know it's over
And I'm happy that you're gone
At least I realise
That I'm the lucky one
Chorus:
You didn't mean to make me sad
You didn't aim to make me cry
I wouldn't really feel so bad
It's just dust in my eye
