is it a kind of a dream

floating out on the tide

following the river of death downstream

oh is it a dream

there's a fog along the horizon

a strange glow in the sky

and nobody seems to know where it goes

and what does it mean

oh is it a dream

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

is it a kind of a shadow

reaching into the night

wandering over the hills unseen

or is it a dream

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

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

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
