Eyes Wide Open lyrics
by Over The Rhine



Eyes wide openTo the great train robberyOf my soulImpending blindnessOf the kind that'sBeyond my controlEyes wide openTo the secret forestBehind those tear-filled treesHeart rending blindnessWon't testify thatI'm on my kneesMaybe I'm a little young to careMaybe I'm a little old to cryI don't knowMaybe I'm a little weak to danceMaybe I'm a little strong to dieI don't knowConcentratingLove and I'm hatingMyself againImpersonatingThe smallest shadowOf my original self againMaybe I'm a little young to careMaybe I'm a little old to cryI don't knowMaybe I'm a little weak to danceMaybe I'm a little strong to dieI don't knowDoes anybody really want to grasp my handand lift me to my feet?Does anybody really want to be the breezethat frightens off this heat?Eyes wide openMaybe I'm a little young to loveEyes wide openMaybe I'm a little young to loveEyes wide openMaybe I'm a little young to loveEyes wide openMaybe I'm a little young to loveMaybe I'm a little young to loveMaybe I'm a little young to love
