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,
thinking 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...
But like an ocean tide,
I`m drawn back inside
and I know.
When you 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?
But like an ocean tide,
I`m drawn back inside...
But like an ocean tide,
I`m drawn back inside
and I know...
and I know...
and I know...
