[Verse 1]
We both had doubts
We both had doubts
I found myself
While I was away
All your life
Now I understand
So many hours
And no company
[Chorus]
But you imagine things
Through cold eyes asleep
Then what have I seen this for
We both know about
[Verse 2]
All my life
You were important
And your father too
Wandering the orchard
Through budding dormant eyes
On a lamp lit plain
[Chorus]
You imagine things
Why does he speak to me
To you, I know, I only stare without
My life is dull
And my body aches
Then what have I seen this for
[Outro]
Oh, I imagined things
Through cold eyes asleep
And I won't think back more than I do
My life is dull
And my body aches
All this blood in my mouth
Makes me hate
How we both end up
