Blink

Relentless stirring memories
I'll only visit in my dreams
Beneath a bed of virgin snow
A sheet of ice on fallen leaves
I found the man behind the face
And I prayed he wasn't me
But I was wrong

Do you lie alone and silent
Question just where you belong?
Have you traced it to a place
A time, a thought, to anyone?
You seize the golden moment
Only to hold on for too long
Then it's gone, yes, it's gone

In the blink of an eye
It all changes
With a kiss and a sigh
Love whispers your name
It's here and gone
Then life goes on
Passing like a ghost on the water
And if I could
I'd stand against the tide
Turn the tears into wine
In the blink of an eye

Too much of the future, baby
Too much of the past
You find yourself obsessing
Over things that never last
The odds were all against us
And the die's already cast
Something's wrong
Yeah, something's wrong

In the blink of an eye
It all changes
With a kiss and a sigh
Love whispers your name
It's here and gone
Then life goes on
Passing like a ghost on the water
And, if I could
I'd stand against the tide
Turn your tears into wine
In the blink of an eye

(In the blink of an eye)
In the blink of an eye
(With a kiss and a sigh)
Love whispers your name
It's here and gone
Then life goes on
Passing like a ghost on the water
And, if I could
I'd stand against the tide
Turn the water to wine
In the blink of an eye

I have followed my convictions
I have stood behind my nerve
At least as I recall
I've embraced the contradictions
I have faced at every turn
Oh, if I've learned anything at all
It's this, baby, that it all changes
You know it all changes

In the blink of an eye
Everything can change
In the blink of an eye
Oh, yeah
In the blink of an eye

In the blink of an eye
Everything changes
Everything can change
In the blink of an eye
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh...

In the blink of an eye
Everything can change
In the blink of an eye
Yeah
