Letra de
Doctor My Eyes

Doctor My Eyes é a primeira música de Jackson Browne que se tornou um hit. Ela destaca os desafios e desilusões que Browne enfrentou ao observar o mundo ao seu redor, refletindo uma perda de inocência e o custo da sabedoria adquirida ao enfrentar as realidades muitas vezes duras da vida. A música reflete a sensibilidade única de Browne para capturar a complexidade das emoções humanas e os dilemas sociais em sua escrita.

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
