one  day you just get tired  of crying
runnin'  can't escape  the beating heart
one  day you just get tired  of dying
living  can't escape  the beating march
  but a higher  bloom unveils
  in a lowdown  dirty day
  and all  that dreams entail
  come and take  your suffering away
  this  eye looks with love
  this  eye looks with judgement
  free  me take the sight  out of  this eye
one  night the howlin' dog  sings a lullaby
drift  you into peaceful  memories
one  night the howlin' dog  cries out lonely  life
break  you like the light  between the trees
  and they say  sacrifice
  is letting  sweet love go
  never  build a damn
  wall  to stop the flow
  this eye...
all  I can hope  for is a light  to see
 when I search  in the dark  for my soul
 and when  my soul  comes to rescue me
 I rest  my resistance  fall piece  by piece  into peace
 and slip  like the water  back into  the sea
  this eye....
