The War on Drugs Rings Around My Father’s Eyes Lyrics
I’ve never really known which way I’m facing
But I feel like something’s changed
There’s a storm outside, my walls are aging
They’re coming back down in the hardest way
There’s a reign protecting me
Rings around my father’s eyes
Light above the morning sea
Into darkness I will reach
Fall into the ocean deep
Just to bring you back
Babe, it’s almost five
I’ve been gone since the moonlight faded
And punishing rain washed me away
How can I give back what once was stolen?
How can I stay all day?
Well, it’s all a lie, I’m just hiding the memory
Yeah, what awaits for you?
What awaits for me?
There’s a bridge connecting me
Rings around my father’s eyes
Light above the morning sea
Fill the gray into the song
Feel the wings across your arms
Under the way it moves its own
Mm-mm, mm-mm
As I ride into the wind
What a restless feeling
One I’ve tried to hide so long
Fill the gray into the song
To feel the wings across your arms
Cut the wing in two
No one really knows which way they’re facing
‘Til they’re coming back down
