Gone Before We Open Our Eyes

She moves from dream

Back to her daydreams

Thinks that they are the same thing

She tries to get her heart to accept

That there's nothing left

Except this chance



And she knows she has to set herself free

And I know 'cos it's happened once to me



And it's gone before we open our eyes

And it's gone before we open our eyes

With surprise, with surprise



Can I pay you later, said Chris Valenti

The pope of the summer Saturdays

He said farewell to (?) hotel

Wrote that he's glad that we were there



When it's time, then the Mission Bells will chime

When you find that your name's wrote down, it's fine



And it's gone before we open our eyes

And it's gone before we open our eyes

Please don't pry, please don't pry



Did you do those things 

You thought you'd do?

Did you write it in your diary for proof?

And you will win

And you will lose

Phone number hieroglyphics

And ? is not there to remind you of them

To remind you of them



And I know as above, so below

And I know but I cannot let it go



And it's gone before we open our eyes

And it's gone before we open our eyes

And it's gone before we

Gone before we, 

Gone before we open our eyes

With surprise, with surprise

With surprise
