Jackson Browne - Doctor My Eyes



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

  1. This song gets me every time. I'm a fool for Jackson Browne.......and James Taylor......oh, and Carol King.....Simon & Garfunkel......the soundtrack to Hair & Godspell & Jesus Christ Superstar. The early 70's cranked out some seriously good music.
