Is it a kind of dream?
There's a fog along the horizon,
Bright eyes!
Is it a kind of shadow,
There's a high wind in the trees.
Bright eyes!
Floating out on the tide,
Following the river of death downstream.
Or is it a dream?
A strange glow in the sky.
And nobody seems to know where you go,
and what does it mean.
Oh, is it a dream?
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!
Reaching into the night...
Wandering over the hills unseen?
Or is it a dream?
A cold sound in the air.
And nobody ever knows when you go
And where do you start
Into the dark
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!
