Watching the world go round,
Hoping I will stay in bounds.
Catching a glimpse of the sun,
Everybody’s on the run.
And I wish I knew the rules,
Then I’d understand.
Keep on workin’ like a fool,
Tryin’ to make my stand.
The news today was bleak,
There’s nothin’ under our feet.
The grass is bluer today,
So, I’m gonna stay away
And I wish I knew the rules,
Then I’d understand.
Will I find all the clues
Playin’ in my band.
And I wish I
knew the rules,
Then I’d understand.
Keep on workin’ like a fool,
Tryin’ to make my stand.
Listen to all those lies –
The promise of paradise.
There’s a stranger in me
To make my soul agree.
When you close your eyes
Where are you?
Are you driftin’ back to a place and time
Up in Penny’s room
When you closed your eyes
And I held you for the first time – I lost my mind
I think you lost yours, too.
And I’m thinkin’ ’bout the way I wanted it to last
But, forever could have never been long enough.
Now I close my eyes
And I see you Ah, your long blond hair was flowin’
There was nothin’ I could do
So I fell in love You know it’s true
I fell helplessly under your spell
And you fell for me, too.
Now we never could deny –
That feelin’ was too strong
And we didn’t care to end it
When we left we were not gone.
And I want to be with you, and I want to see you
In my life now and forever we should always be together
I want to be with you, and I want to see you
I’ve had no better time since then, and this feelin’ never ends
Open your eyes
Do you see –
Ah, the man who loves you so uncontrollably?
It’s no surprise
It’s meant to be
We’re together now forever
Beyond eternity.
And I’m thinkin’ ’bout the way
I’ve wanted it to last
But, forever could have never
been long enough for that.
