I know where you're going,
And I see where you've been,
Patience is a virtue,
And mine with you is wearing thin,
It's easy to sit and wait.

Speak the words you've stolen,
From better men than you,
Doors they helped you open,
In time will cease to let you through,
Is it easy to stand and sigh?
Bid another friend goodbye.

Ohh ohh ohh. (x4)

Lights can shine too bright dear,
So nobody can see,
Hide safe behind your light dear,
But understand it won't blind me,
And I know it would do no good,
But I'd hurt you if I could.

(Ohh ohh ohh)
See my eyes,
(Ohh ohh ohh)
Open wide,
(Ohh ohh ohh)
Speak up now,
(Ohh ohh ohh)
Hold your peace forever and be damned.

Eyes down, door closed
Keep quiet,
Growing old,
I know you, I see you,
Cling to the road you ride on.

Homeless, more or less
Skin and bone, on your own
I'll be alright,
I'm doing fine,
Keep my tongue behind my teeth

And get gone,
You never were anyone,
Keep your words, keep your mind,
I'll keep my tongue behind my teeth,
Tongue behind my teeth.

And I know it would do no good,
But I'd hurt if I could.

Ohh ohh ohh
