Jackson Browne - Doctor My Eyes + lyrics

Jackson Browne - Doctor My Eyes

Lyrics:

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand

I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long

'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where they will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me

Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the PRICE for having learned how not to cry

I had the privilege of seeing this song live a couple of months ago with my momma!! I enjoy going to concerts with my mother more than with my friends. She has a better taste in music ;)

[Tatts4ever1]

Ageless classic ... sadly they dont make them like this anymore .

God bless the rock bands of the 70s

[Whitney Davis]

Who isn't?

[Chris Culp]

Hell, I'm still getting stoned in the 2000's and still listening to this great music.

[GCleph Musique]

i love this song but I never noticed "For having learned how not to cry" call the grammar police!

[william wright]

who wasnt stoned listening to the music of the 60s 70s

[thegreatdeceiver69]

Hah, you don't think that every single person involved in the making of this song wasn't stoned as fuck? David Crosby sang on this one IIRC and that guy counts for like 5 incredibly baked people.

I had the pleasure of seeing Jackson Browne in concert during the 1980s. He was--and still is--an awesome songwriter and performer.

I have done all that I could...To see the evil and the good without hiding...You must help me if you can

[wqq355]

its actually "and the slow parade of fears"

[wqq355]

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years, Through the slow parade of tears without crying, Now I want to understand I have done all that I could To see the evil and the good without hiding, You must help me if you can Doctor My Eyes Tell me what is wrong Was I unwise to leave them open for so long? As I've wandered through this world As each moment has unfurled, I've been waiting to awaken from this dream, I never notice them until I got this feeling, That its later that it seems, Doctor My Eyes

True. JB had the lyrics, first verse, chorus and start of the second verse up to and including 'Standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona...' and got stuck, Frey came in with 'It's a girl my lord in a flatbed Ford slowing down to take a look at me...' A classic was born..
