Sleepy Eyes
Sleepy Eyes
When I feel the weight of all my dreams
Press on me in a cloud
And the ghosts of men I might have been
Gather round me in a crowd
It's easy to lose faith and say
The way I chose was wrong
Till I look into your eyes and see
Love deep as the road is long
CHORUS: When the evening stars burn down
And the new day starts to rise
I will shelter in your loving arms
And close these sleepy eyes
These sleepy eyes
When I see old friends from bygone days
Their hearts still filled with fire
Who never seem to have lost their way
Or bargained their true desire
I think of where I might be now
Had I been of single mind
Till the long day's done and I embrace
The one sure thing that my heart did find (CHORUS)
CHORUS: When the evening stars burn down
And the new day starts to rise
I will shelter in your loving arms
And close these sleepy eyes
These sleepy eyes
