I'm keeping you in mind

For the rest of years, for the rest of years

In your watery eyes I'm gonna rest all day

In your watery eyes I'm gonna rest all day

In your watery eyes I'm gonna rest some day

In your watery eyes

Tell the saint I'm gonna be a little late

Drawing lines around the river for the rest of years

All in time, but you fade away from

All in time, but you fade away from me

They cant see what I can see

Turned away from me

I can turn everything around

I can turn everything around

They cant see what I can see

Turned away from me

I can turn everything around

I can turn everything around

I heard you in my sleep

For the rest of years, for the rest of years

So lonely, I'm trying to hear you

So lonely, I'm trying to hear you

So lonely, I'm trying to hear you

So lonely, I'm

All in time, but you fade away from

All in time, but you fade away from me love

They cant see what I can see

Turned away from me

I can turn everything around

I can turn everything around

They cant see what I can see

Turned away from me

I can turn everything around

I can turn everything around

They cant see what I can see

Turned away from me

I can turn everything around

I can turn everything around

All in time, but you fade away from

All in time, but you fade away from

All in time, but you fade away from me love
