Oh, oh is it a dream

Bright eyes, burning like fire

Bright eyes, how can you close and fail
B7/D# Em D7/F# G
How can the light that burned so brightly

Suddenly burn so pale, bright eyes

Is it a kind of shadow
Reaching in to the night
Wandering over the hills unseen
Or is it a dream
There's a high wind in the trees
A cold sound in the air
And nobody ever knows when you go
And where do you start
Oh, oh into the dark
Chorus
G
