Description
The smoke in my eyes does the trickfor a while
when the sun shines I can't see the light
when the moon is full
and all is seen in the darkness
you can't see my eyes, and I smile
I've done this for some time
and been at this quite a while
I'm so sorry I'm shortsighted
an owl cooed, repeating his tune
and I listened intently and pondered
thinking of all I'd lived through
feeling, for once, what I'd squandered
cooing, his breath filled the winter air
and the smoke in my eyes began to fade
each passing winter has brought me
an entirely new parade
as my eyes clear I'll see
if the sun shines or the sea dries
the truth itself I'll know
I'll come smiling
all things being behind me
and greet you again, anew
dear owl, oh dear owl
it seems I needed you
