In the twilight glow I see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Love is like a dying ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain.
<\/span><\/p>\n

Now my hair has turned to silver
All my life I've loved in vain
But I can see her star in heaven
Blue eyes crying in the rain.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no parting
Blue eyes crying in the rain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jackson Browne, Doctor My Eyes<\/a>.  Dedicated to Darci M. and our summer of '78.<\/span><\/p>\n

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand<\/p>\n

I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can<\/p>\n

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long<\/p>\n

'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 they will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems<\/p>\n

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me<\/p>\n

Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the PRICE for having learned how not to cry?<\/span><\/p>\n
