David & The Citizens - Oblivion lyrics

Won't you dry the tears from my eyes? Won't you walk me through the night? Won't you help me leave this stinking shadow behind? There's no story to tell, there's no magic I was given a life and I lived it I was given two hands and I used them I was given a heart and I lost it In your eyes But your eyes are gone But your eyes are gone into oblivion There's snow in the air and spring in the ground As we're dragging ourselves around and around And I'm laughing loud to melt the ice I play the clown again Somewhere in between the clouds Somewhere in this roundabout There's a voice that screams for life There is love and there is light In your eyes But your eyes are gone But your eyes are gone into oblivion How long? How long? You kick one off, you shoot one down Another one will come around My head is spinning, I try to stand still If you see me will you help me Say you will! 'cause there's a monster inside And it sees through my eyes And it speaks through my mouth And it moves me around But there is calm In your eyes Time arrives in tidal waves It is washed across my face Like when I was a boy, back in the old days Like when every breath was uncertain I held my head up, I held it high I played my cards the best I could I thought you understood I thought you understood I thought you understood Every good thing could survive In your eyes But your eyes are gone But your eyes are gone into oblivion (Your eyes are gone into oblivion) Into oblivion (Your eyes are gone into oblivion) Into oblivion (Your eyes are gone into oblivion) Into oblivion (Your eyes are gone into oblivion)
