The world goes through phases
I'm in this one
The poinsettias dressed as reds
Now in July, they're gone
So tell me, tell me
There's a brand new feeling in the air
This world before my eyes is green and orange everywhere

But darling you're insivible
And I am here just sitting blind
No one here to keep me warm throughout the night
So I just magnify
And feel this world around me all alone
Before the dewy roses freeze to death in solid crystal whites

Cry, useless eyes
Wetting you keeps me alive
Cry, useless eyes
In the morning all will be alright

The world goes through phases
You're not in this one
I gather all the daisies
As soon as summer's gone
So tell me, tell me
There's a brand new feeling in the air
Tell me, tell me
This world before my eyes is green and orange everywhere

And darling you are beautiful
And I am here just sitting blind
But your lovely voice got me fantasizing every night
So I just magnify
And feel this world around me all alone
To let a few tears burst so you will pat me in the back and ask me why

Cry, useless eyes
Wetting you keeps me alive
Cry, useless eyes
In the morning all will be alright

Got my glasses but I can't see
Touching you means touching everything
But it's just in my mind
I couldn't love you enough to love you with my eyes
Got your presence but it's just a waste
Even if you let me have a taste
It's only in my mind
I couldn't love you enough to love you with my eyes

Tell me, tell me
There's a brand new feeling in the air
Tell me, tell me
This world before my eyes is only pitch black everywhere

Cry, useless eyes
Wetting you keeps me alive
Cry, useless eyes
In the morning all will be alright
