Wishbone Ash Eyes Wide Open lyrics

It was a night, yeah, the kind of night
Left me pacing 'cross the floor
It was a dream like those other dreams
So many times before

I went back to the old town
To the streets I used to roam
And I looked into my daddy's eyes
And asked that fatal question
"Why'd you have to go?"

You had to go

There was a time when life was good
And everything felt so right
I don't know why I never understood
Why you left us on that night


I went back to that day
When you left us on our own
Now I look into my baby's eyes
And I just know there is no way
I'd ever go

I'll never go

Take me to the mountainside
Far away from here
Where my eyes are open wide
No one gets too near
