Your Eyes Were Open - UB40

Oh doctor help me please

I’m dying, crippled with disease

My Body’s aching limb to limb

My bones are glowing through my skin

When I look up into black skies

Mushrooms grow before my eyes

Doctor save me if you can

I’m a desperate man (repeat)

As he lay thinking he was dead

A burning pain short through his head

He looked into those tired old eyes

Heard forty years of anguished cries

And this doctor said

Your eyes were open

But you shut them with your mouth

You always heard

But you weren’t doing the screaming

You’d only just woken

But Already, you’d forgotten

What you were dreaming

Such a sad case

The failure of a human race
