John Wesley Harding – With Camera Eyes lyrics

Forgive me this my one princess
forgive what's in my eyes
I hate that we should be suspect
to the weight of these goodbyes

And would you rather turn away
and fade into the sun
wipe the tears from my eyes and say
my darling, you're not the one

And this well proportioned sympathy
with it's standard churned out lies
has done so much to cover me
like the night obscures the sky

The rain obscures the tears that fell
because they're nothing you should see
witness this to live and tell
burn my pain into your memory

Forgive me that I've held on too long
can't make it go away
forgive me that I'm not as strong
can't make it go away

Forgive the way it tortures me
can't make it go away
touch my hands and set me free
please make it go away

I witness this infidelity
with the cameras in my eyes
I see you with such clarity
God, I wish that I was blind

I see you with these camera eyes
I see you in his arms
I watch the thrill that's in your eyes
God, I wish that I was wrong
