Relentless, stirring memories I'll only visit in my dreams,
Beneath a bed of virgin snow, a sheet of ice on fallen leaves,
I found the man behind the face, and I prayed he wasn't me...but I was wrong.

Do you lie alone and silent, question just where you belong'
Have you traced it to a place, a time, a thought, to anyone'
You seize the golden moment, only to hold on for too long...then it's gone.
Yes, it's gone.

In the blink of an eye, all changes,
With a kiss and a sigh, love whispers your name,
It's here and gone, then life goes on, passing like a ghost on the water,
And, if I could, I'd stand against the tide,
Turn the tears into wine in the blink of an eye.

Too much of the future, baby, too much of the past,
You find yourself obsessing over thing that never last,
The odds were all against us and the die's already cast,
Something's wrong,
Yeah something's wrong.

In the blink of an eye it all changes,
With a kiss and a sigh, love whispers your name,
It's here and gone, then life goes on, passing like a ghost on the water,
And, if I could, I'd stand against the tide,
Turn your tears into wine in the blink of an eye.

(In the blink of an eye) In the blink of an eye,
(With a kiss and a sigh) Love whispers your name,
It's here and gone, then life goes on, passing like a ghost on the water,
And, if I could, I'd stand against the tide,
Turn the water to wine in the blink of an eye.

I have followed my convictions,
I have stood behind my nerve...at least as I recall,
I've embraced the contradictions I have faced at every turn,
Oh, if I've learned anything at all, it's this baby: that it all changes,
You know it all changes.

In the blink of an eye everything can change,
In the blink of an eye, oh yeah,
In the blink of an eye,
In the blink of an eye everything can change, (everything changes)
In the blink of an eye, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh,
In the blink of an eye everything can change,
In the blink of an eye, yeah.
