I cannot tell the color of her eyes
They seem to change
They rearrange
In January they're looking gray
And then in June
A cloudless day
To turn the tide around
Is too big to attain
You're left there ridin' backwards
On that downtown train
I cannot tell how the hours pass
Like a balloon flies
Into blue skies
When I'm with her
She holds me still
Our cup it seems to always fill
To turn the tide around
Is too big to attain
You're left there ridin' backwards
On that downtown train
I cannot keep my thoughts from tearing on
My memories race
The shadows trace
I cannot fix my mind in one place
But when I'm with her
That ain't the case
To turn the tide around
Is too big to attain
You're left there ridin' backwards
On that downtown train
