Bright Eyes Lyrics

Artist: Art Garfunkel

Is it a kind of a dream
Floating out on the tide
Following the river of death downstream
Oh is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon
A strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where it goes
And what does it mean?
Oh is it a dream?

Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly,
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes

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

Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly,
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes

Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly,
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes

I remember, all those years ago, singing along to that one moment of life, they don't make songs that touch your heart any more, how I miss watching watership down on Christmas and new years day.

A very sad and beautiful song.
I love Watership Down.

I really like this song... Brings background memory's of my father who loved Watership Down... We used the song when he died. After 22 years my mother died as well so I used the same song. And when I die I want it to be played too. I have a butifull charcol art picture of a hare if it was just picked out of Watership down... A REALLY INPORTED SONG for mee...
Just BEATIFULL!!!!

This song is soothing although it could have been tormenting. Elegy comes hand in hand with reconciliation.

Awesome song, not awesome in the modern sense, but beutiful and sad, but still a song I like to listen to.

by Ricky on 12/27/2012 10:55am
The song is truly beautiful and theres something uniquely eerie about it which brings tears to my eyes everytime I listen to it. The Watership down movie, also fond part of my childhood memories.
