F               Bb F 
Is it a kind of dream, 
Dm                  Gm F 
Floating out on the tide, 
C7                     Am        Dm 
Following the river of death downstream? 
    Gm      C7 
Oh, is it a dream? 

          F               Bb F 
There's a fog along the horizon, 
  Dm                  Gm F 
A strange glow in the sky, 
    C7              Am             Dm 
And nobody seems to know where you go, 
    Gm           A 
And what does it mean? 
B F C7      F 
Oh, is it a dream? 

       Am 
Bright eyes,

Burning like fire.

Bright eyes, 
Bb                    Gm7 
How can you close and fail? 
A           Dm         C         F 
How can the light that burned so brightly 
Gm7              C7 
Suddenly burn so pale?

Bright eyes. 

F               Bb F 
Is it a kind of shadow, 
Dm                Gm F 
Reaching into the night, 
C7                 Am    Dm 
Wandering over the hills unseen, 
   Gm      C7 
Or is it a dream? 

          F                Bb F 
There's a high wind in the trees, 
  Dm                Gm F 
A cold sound in the air, 
    C7          Am             Dm 
And nobody ever knows when you go, 
    Gm           A 
And where do you start, 
B F C7      F 
Oh, into the dark. 

       Am 
Bright eyes,

Burning like fire.

How can you close and fail?

How can the light that burned so brightly 
Gm7              C7 
Suddenly burn so pale? 
       F 
Bright eyes. 

       Am 
Bright eyes, 
Bb           Gm   C7 
Burning like fire. 
       Am 
Bright eyes, 
Bb                    Gm7 
How can you close and fail? 
A           Dm         C         F 
How can the light that burned so brightly 
Gm7              C7 
Suddenly burn so pale?

Bright eyes.
