[Verse 1]
I reminisce to days In Montreal
Elementary, gray consumes the wall
If I had died, I thought of what I'd say
My eyes are going anyway

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
I played the music just to play pretend
Visit cinemas, see the film again
I'd talk to someone, but he passed away
My eyes are going anyway

[Chorus 1]
And the keys would play my song
But I'd start it early on
After all the smoke had gone

And the fabric used to mend
Father, make me who I am
Maybe God will save me then, oh

[Verse 3]
So when I saw her break the distances
I would move for her, faking happiness
I've found another one who said she'd stay
My eyes are going anyway
[Chorus 2]
Now the blue surrounds my skin
What a place I'm living in
Make the verses on a whim

And six years to be proud
Seven more to speak aloud
Melodies to break me out, oh

[Verse 4]
The bus can take me from my neighborhood
If I had the years, then I surely would
Because I'd master what was loved today
My eyes are going anyway

[Outro]
I saw my friends, the date of 50 years
Started from the soul, and reduced to tears
What used to flourish now is turned to grey
My eyes have gone away
