Even With My Eyes Closed Lyrics - 10,000 Maniacs

Even with my eyes closed 

Funny how I know 

It's harder, it's harder now 

Young girl 

In my young girl days 

Thinkin' I could live for always 

But like an ocean tide 

I'm drawn back inside 

And I know 

Seasons pass 

Like sand inside a glass 

And nothing, nothing returns 

Standing with the friends I've made 

I'll race them to the grave 

Well who won, won the extra days? 

But like an ocean tide 

I'm drawn back inside 

Like an ocean tide 

(Ohh ohh ohh) 

I'm drawn back inside 

And I know 

When you take away the years toll 

On the waters wide, shallow high and low 

In the autumn sky 

Happy to know I'm going home 

Even with my eyes closed 

Funny, how I know 

It's finally, has it finally begun? 

Ocean tide 

(Ohh ohh ohh) 

Drawn back inside 

But like an ocean tide 

(Ohh ohh ohh) 

Drawn back inside 

And I know 

Ohh and I know 

And I know
