Even With My Eyes Closed - 10,000 Maniacs

Even with my eyes closed

Funny how I know

It’s harder, it’s harder now

Young girl, in my young girl days

Thinking I could live for always

But like an ocean tide

I’m drawn back inside

And I know

Seasons pass like sand inside a glass

And nothing, nothing returns

Standing with the friends I’ve made

I’ll race them to the grave

Well who won, who won the extra days?

But like an ocean tide

I’m drawn back inside

Like an ocean tide

(Oh oh oh)

I’m drawn back inside

And I know

When you take away the years toll

On the waters wide, shallow high and low

In the autumn sky

Happy to know I’m going home

Even with my eyes closed

Funny how I know

It’s finally

Has it finally begun?

Ocean tide

(Oh oh oh)

I’m drawn back inside

But like an ocean tide

(Oh oh oh)

I’m drawn back inside

And I know

Oh, and I know

And I know
