In My Mind's Eye

By blood we live

Can’t take the weight

Each day we give

Sometimes too late

And so it turns to dust

Thru’ years unknown

And then we lose the trust

The time has flown

I don’t want money

I don’t want fame

I think that I might get lost

I’m in no hurry

I make no claim

The answers won’t come across

I see your face

In my mind’s eye

Look back, no trace

It passed me by

A stranger at my door

A silent prayer

Can’t see you anymore

Too much to bear

I don’t want money

I don’t want fame

I think that I might get lost

I’m in no hurry

I make no claim

The answers won’t come across

While I take shelter

This blinding rain

Is turnin’ everyone cold

This helter skelter

As time remains

Is hard to grasp and to hold
