Lyrics: Doctor My Eyes
Album: The Next Voice You Hear: The Best Of Jackson Browne
Artist: Jackson Browne
 

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now i want to understand

I have done all that i could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was i unwise to leave them open for so long

’cause i have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I’ve been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where there will
I never noticed them until i got this feeling
That it’s later than it seems

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it’s too late for me

Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry
