See Through Eyes Songtext
von Peter Case

Oh man it was great if you had to be there
We were pulling the songs out of thin air
Played ′em and laughed, threw 'em away
Just passing by when I decided to stay
Through the black lights and the high tides
The "yes" was always on the tip of our tongues
Praise was rising like smoke
Our flags were flying, we were constantly broke
We were young and so were the jokes
We had nothing but time for trouble

And a river that rolled
Gold between our see-through eyes

Now what would I do for another pair of see-through eyes?
And what could I give for another pair of see-through eyes?


Hey day, may day, rocky road
Summer was kind, we were having a ball
The music flowed, then it slowed to a crawl
Days when it rained, huddled inside
Listening to lightning, then we′d go for a ride
Out in the countryside where the wild woods bloom
River was falling, the air was perfumed
We laughed and threw it away
We laughed and threw it away

Now what would I do for another pair of see-through eyes?
And what could I give for another pair of see-through eyes?

So this whole world explodes, I can't tell you why
It's got something to do with a couple of lies
We stopped a moment lasting a year
Next time I looked ′round there was nobody near

Yeah, we all disappeared
Now it′s been a long time since we took a chance
To speak our hearts and minds for a while
And the start is surprised
Now I'm soft on my feet
The tide began to rise
On a river that rolled
Gold between our see-through eyes

Now what would I do for another pair of see-through eyes?
And what could I give for another pair of see-through eyes?
And what would I do for another pair of see-through eyes?
Another pair of see-through eyes
Another pair of see-through eyes
