lyrics

I once was a blind man, cuz I couldn't see past night to dawn,
I was a boy then, cuz I didn't see how life went on,
Bars and beers, and mindless cheers, well it's all the same,
If you don't know what you're so scared of, then it will remain

But it comes and it goes,
And I can't seem to let it go,
Oh Lord, it comes and it goes,
And if I should get it right, let me know.

I once knew a girl with these eyes that shone with a light from inside,
They only glowed when she was happy, and Lord knows I tried,
When they were dark, the world lost its spark, and I was scared it was done,
I left town, lookin' for something and still I've found none.

But it comes and it goes,
And I can't seem to let it go,
Oh Lord, it comes and it goes,
And if I should get it right, let me know.

Long is the road that I've traveled, and it don't seem to have no end,
It would be a thousand times easier, if I could just have a friend,
But she's back in Carolina, and I'm here ridin' this train,
And the good lord knows, if I could, that I'd go back and make things the same.

But it comes and it goes,
And I can't seem to let it go,
Oh Lord, it comes and it goes,
And if I should get it right, let me know.
