[Verse 1]
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
[Chorus]
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long?
[Verse 2]
'Cause I have wandered through this world
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 (Oh)
[Chorus]
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me
[Post-Chorus]
Is it too late?
Is it too late for me?
Tell me doctor
[Chorus]
Doctor, my eyes, no
Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize
For having learned how not to cry?
[Outro]
I'm sayin' doctor, doctor my eyes (Yeah yeah yeah)
Doctor, doctor my eyes (Tell me what is wrong, doctor my eyes)
Doctor, doctor my eyes (Oh)
Doctor, doctor my eyes (Tell me what you see)
Doctor, doctor my eyes
(What you sayin' to me, what you sayin' to me now?)
Doctor, doctor my eyes (I see the evil and the good)
Doctor, doctor my eyes
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
[Chorus]
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long?
[Verse 2]
'Cause I have wandered through this world
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 (Oh)
[Chorus]
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me
[Post-Chorus]
Is it too late?
Is it too late for me?
Tell me doctor
[Chorus]
Doctor, my eyes, no
Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize
For having learned how not to cry?
[Outro]
I'm sayin' doctor, doctor my eyes (Yeah yeah yeah)
Doctor, doctor my eyes (Tell me what is wrong, doctor my eyes)
Doctor, doctor my eyes (Oh)
Doctor, doctor my eyes (Tell me what you see)
Doctor, doctor my eyes
(What you sayin' to me, what you sayin' to me now?)
Doctor, doctor my eyes (I see the evil and the good)
Doctor, doctor my eyes
