I've got a light in my eye
I can't see nothing at all
Blind to the pleasures and promises of life
Staring alone at the wall
I've got this dream in my head
It never leaves me alone
Brings back the time when we lived life as one
But I've got a life of my own
Still when the night comes
And all the shadows disappear
Find myself wondering where you could have gone
Wondering why you're not here
Walking the streets by myself
Fresh from a late winter's rain
Swollen bits of memory clutter up my mind
Yesterday's lost faces cloud my brain
Friends come to me and they say
You shouldn't be so alone
Say that it's time you found a new love
But I've got a love of my own
Still when morning comes
And the sun brings back the day
Wonder why I hide on the darker side of life
Wonder will it always be this way
Does it always have to be this way?
