Jackson Browne: "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

Ive been waiting to awaken from these dreams

People go just where there will

I never noticed them until I got this feeling

That its later than it seems



Doctor, my eyes

Tell me what you see

I hear their cries

Just say if its too late for me



Doctor, my eyes

Cannot see the sky

Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry
