Lyrics Even With My Eyes Closed - 10,000 Maniacs

Even With My Eyes Closed

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
