The War on Drugs - Rings Around My Father's Eyes lyrics

[Verse 1] I've never really known which way I'm facing But I feel like something's changed There's a storm outside, my walls are ageing They're coming back down in the hardest way [Refrain] There's a reign protecting me Rings around my fathers eyes Light above the morning sea Into darkness I will reach Fall into the ocean deep Just to bring you back [Verse 2] Babe, it's almost five I've been gone since the moonlight faded And punishing rain washed me away How can I give back what once was stolen? How can I stay all day? Well, it's all a lie, I'm just hiding the memory Yeah, what awaits for you? What awaits for me? [Refrain] There's a bridge connecting me Rings around my fathers eyes Light above the morning sea Fill the gray into the song Feel the wings across your arms Under the way it moves its own Mm-mm, mm-mm [Bridge] As I ride into the wind What a restless feeling One I've tried to hide so long Fill the gray into the song To feel the wings across your arms Cut the wing in two [Outro] No one really knows which way they're facing 'Til they're coming back down
