Time's Eyes

(Album: Maybe I Can Sleep It Off - 2020)

Straight-line driving
Since I first saw the horizon
Oh, I sold my soul to the glowing light
In the hope she sings on back

Boy, I see that you've got dreams in your head
But dreams will only get you so far
I hope you find what you are looking for
You will if you've been working hard

My parents raised me well
Never tried to make me someone else
All turns out fine in time's eyes

Learned my survival
In the shadows of my idols
Fumbling through that worn out case
For something to call my own

The world has a funny way of testing us
That much is clear to me
For every time I got a parking fine
At a show I played for free

I met a lot of great people those nights
Oh, I damn sure love this game
Got the lightning when I asked for rain
All turns out fine in time's eyes

I don't know long I'll be here for
I don't know what's in store for me
The simple fact that I can write this song
I will cherish eternally

All that I can tell
From looking down the wishing well
All turns out fine in time's eyes
All turns out fine in time's eyes
