Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Is it a kind of dream

Floating out on the tide

Following the river of death downstream?

Oh, is it a dream?

[Verse 2]

There's a fog along the horizon

A strange glow in the sky

And nobody seems to know where you go

And what does it mean

Oh, is it a dream?

[Chorus]

Bright eyes, burning like fire

Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?

How can the light that burned so brightly

Suddenly burn so pale?

Bright eyes

[Verse 3]

Is it a kind of shadow

Reaching into the night

Wandering over the hills unseen?

Or is it a dream?

[Verse 4]

There's a high wind in the trees

A cold sound in the air

And nobody ever knows when you go

And where do you start

Oh, into the dark

[Chorus]

Bright eyes, burning like fire

Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?

How can the light that burned so brightly

Suddenly burn so pale?

Bright eyes

[Chorus]

Bright eyes, burning like fire

Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?

How can the light that burned so brightly

Suddenly burn so pale?

Bright eyes
