Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Looking back in time
Through verses set in nursery rhyme
At oil painted eyes
Of a muse I left behind
[Verse 2]
I swear I know not why
Those eyes have always left me dry
[Verse 3]
She stands with arms stretched out
Towards the mountains & the clouds
Oil painted eyes
Blind yet hypnotized
[Verse 4]
I swear I know not why
Those eyes have always left me dry
Me dry
[Verse 5]
(How near, how far, how lost they are)
(How near, how far, how lost they are)
(How near, how far, how lost they are)
[Verse 6]
(How near, how far, how lost they are)
(How near, how far, how lost they are)
(How near, how far)
[Verse 7]
I've rendered every line
Every contour of a muse's eye
Painted in my mind
On canvases of time
[Verse 8]
I swear I know not why
Those eyes have always left me dry
Me dry
Me dry
