For far too long
I've turned a blind eye
To every woman I meet

For far too long
I've talked tongue-tied
Livin' a life of retreat

When I'm sleepin' I'm dreamin'
I'm pushin' back the clock
Then at daybreak I'm wide awake

Hearin' tic toc tic toc tic toc

Skye, you'll always be the apple

Of this old man's eye
don't tell me you love me
Just kiss me goodbye


For far too long
I've burned every bridge

And every path to my bed
For far too long
I've been asleep at the switch

A livin' zombie walkin' dead
When I'm sleepin' I'm dreamin'
I'm pushin' back the clock

Then at daybreak I'm wide awake
Hearin' tic toc tic toc tic toc


Skye, you'll always be the apple
Of this old man's eye
don't tell me you love me

Just kiss me goodbye

When I'm sleepin' I'm dreamin'

I'm pushin' back the clock
Then at daybreak I'm wide wake
Hearin' tic toc tic toc tic toc
