Artist/Band: UB 40
Lyrics for Song: Your Eyes Were Open
Lyrics for Album: Geffery Morgan.. [1984]



Oh doctor help me please

I'm dying, crippled with disease

My Body's aching limb to limb

My bones are glowing through my skin

When I look up into black skies

Mushrooms grow before my eyes

Doctor save me if you can

I'm a desperate man (repeat)



As he lay thinking he was dead

A burning pain short through his head

He looked into those tired old eyes

Heard forty years of anguished cries

And this doctor said



Your eyes were open

But you shut them with your mouth

You always heard

But you weren't doing the screaming

You'd only just woken

But Already, you'd forgotten,

What you were dreaming



Such a sad case

The failure of a human race
