EYES OF MY MIND - Song Page
© words & music by Annie Wilson
from CD Tallgrass Express Comes Back
Album note: Though it purports to be an older speaker looking back on her life, I actually wrote this lost-love song a long time ago in my 20's (I thought I was old then).
I love Loren's dobro and Charlie's mandolin on this song.

LYRICS:
Well it’s been so long since I’ve seen you
So many travels and seasons behind
With other loves that I find
I feel like I’m blind
But I still see you in the eyes of my mind
Yes I remember all my proud young ambition
And all the reasons why I left you behind
But now my visions of glory
Are just some sad story
And I still see you in the eyes of my mind
No your memory’s never faded
I’ve dreamed and I’ve waited
Though crazy and hopeless it must be
All the triumphs and the victories
They all seem so empty
When I’m crying for you deep inside
Well I’ve heard there’s just one love in a lifetime
Now I know I just threw mine away
When I remember all your cryin
I feel like I'm dyin
I still see you in the eyes of my mind
CHORUS
REPEAT FIRST VERSE
