Jackson BrowneDoctor My Eyes Lyrics:
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 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?))
As I've 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 that it seems.
((Doctor my eyes!)) Tell me what you see.
((I hear their cries. Just say if it's too late for me.))
[Instrumental break featuring Jesse Ed Davis on guitar.]
((Doctor my eyes, they cannot see the sky.))
((Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry?))

1 Browne first recorded a demo of "Doctor My Eyes" for the Criterion Music
publishing company in early 1971. But it was so bleak and depressing nothing much
came of it. By the time Browne actually recorded the song for his first album,
Saturate Before Using: Jackson Browne, he had revised the lyrics and tossed out
the most pessimistic lines. The album was released in January 1972 and the
following month a single was issued. By March, it was in the charts, and it peaked
in the Top Ten in May. It has been claimed that the upbeat piano riff in the song
was accidentally discovered because of a slightly broken piano that Browne was
using.
