Doctor My Eyes es la primera canción de Jackson Browne que se convirtió en un éxito. Destaca los desafíos y desilusiones que Browne enfrentó al observar el mundo a su alrededor, reflejando una pérdida de inocencia y el costo de la sabiduría adquirida al enfrentar las realidades a menudo duras de la vida. La canción refleja la sensibilidad única de Browne para capturar la complejidad de las emociones humanas y los dilemas sociales en su escritura.
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years And the slow parade of fears without crying Now I want to understand I have done all that I could, to see the evil and the good without hiding. You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes, tell me what is wrong Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
'Cause I have wandered through this world And as each moment has unfurled, I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams People go just where they will, I never noticed them until I got this feeling, that it's later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes, tell me what you see I hear their cries, just say if it's too late for me
Doctor, my eyes, they cannot see the sky Is this the price for having learned how not to cry
