Lyrics

Well, all day per ma nent red,

the glaze

on my eyes.

When I heard your (D)voice,

the dis tance caught me by sur prise a gain.

And I know

you claim

that you’re al right.

But (C5)fix

your eyes (G5)on

me; I guess I’m all you (C5)have,

and I swear you’ll see the dawn a gain.

Well, I know I had it all on the line,

but don’t just sit with fold ed hands and be come blind.

’Cause e ven when there is no star in sight,

you’ll al ways be my on ly guid ing light.

Re late to my (D)youth;

well, I’m still in awe of you.

Dis cov er some new (D)truth

that was al ways wrapped a round (G5)you.

But don’t just slip a way

in the night.

But don’t just hurl

your words

from on high.

Well, I know

If we come back and we’re bro

ken,

un worth y and a shamed,

give us some thing to be lieve

in,

and you know we’ll go your way.

’Cause I know I had it all on the line,

but don’t just sit with fold ed hands and be come blind.

’Cause e ven when there is no star in sight,

you’ll al ways be my on ly guid ing light.

And I know I had it all on the line,

but don’t just sit with fold ed hands and be come blind.

’Cause e ven when there is no star in sight,

you’ll al ways be my on ly guid ing light.

And I know
