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

8. Time To Cross That River

When the Black Queen begins to play
Strong and lonely
Don't look away
'Cause there's nowhere she can't go
She won't tell ya
And you won't know

And now it's time to cross that river
And show your feelings just before you depart
You know it's real
You must consider
No good remainin' so hold back the tears
Don't ever give up the fight

Now the White King shakes in fear
By his castle
They draw near
It's a story we all know
And it's somewhere
We can't go

And now it's time to cross that river
And show your feelings just before you depart
You know it's real
You must consider
No good remainin' so hold back the tears
Don't ever give up the fight

I really thought we'd come together
But once again there's somethin' tears us apart
You know that it could get much better
Heroes we've seen come and go thru' the years
Nothin' is just black & white
