Gone Before We Open Our Eyes

She moves from dream
Back to her daydreams
Thinks that they are the same thing
She tries to get her heart to accept
That there's nothing left
Except this chance

And she knows she has to set herself free
And I know 'cos it's happened once to me

And it's gone before we open our eyes
And it's gone before we open our eyes
With surprise, with surprise

Can I pay you later, said Chris Valenti
The pope of the summer Saturdays
He said farewell to (?) hotel
Wrote that he's glad that we were there

When it's time, then the Mission Bells will chime
When you find that your name's wrote down, it's fine

And it's gone before we open our eyes
And it's gone before we open our eyes
Please don't pry, please don't pry

Did you do those things
You thought you'd do?
Did you write it in your diary for proof?
And you will win
And you will lose
Phone number hieroglyphics
And ? is not there to remind you of them
To remind you of them

And I know as above, so below
And I know but I cannot let it go

And it's gone before we open our eyes
And it's gone before we open our eyes
And it's gone before we
Gone before we
Gone before we open our eyes
With surprise, with surprise
With surprise
