Ben Folds Doctor My Eyes Lyrics

Doctor My Eyes Lyrics

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years

And the slow parade of fears without crying

Now I want to understand



I have done all that I could 

To see the evil and the good without hiding

You must help me if you can

Doctor, my eyes

Tell me what is wrong

Was I unwise to leave them open for so long



'Cause I have wandered through this world

And as each moment has unfurled

I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams

People go just where they will

I never noticed them until I got this feeling

That it's later than it seems



Doctor, my eyes

Tell me what you see

I hear their cries

Just say if it's too late for me



Doctor, my eyes

Cannot see the sky

Is this the price for having learned how not to cry
