Lyrics

Can’t see the road
Can’t see ahead
Fog’s got too thick for me
I need radar instead
Close my eyes now they’re blinded
Don’t know what this love thing is

When it starts
Grey skies turn to blue
And there ain’t anytime
When I’m not thinking about you
Close my eyes now they’re blinded
Don’t know what this love thing is

Silence don’t help solve anything
You know what it is that we both need
And I’m crying oh now
You’ve got me on my knees
But I can’t see the wood for the trees
No no no no
I can’t see the wood for the trees

Can’t see the road
Can’t see ahead
Fog’s got too thick for me
I need radar instead
Close my eyes now they’re blinded
Don’t know what this love thing is

Silence don’t help solve anything
You know what it is that we both need
And I’m crying oh now
You’ve got me on my knees
But I can’t see the wood for the trees
No
I can’t see the wood for the trees

Long time ago
Water’s under that bridge
You can’t expect your life and loves
To go without a hitch
So my eyes they are open now
And I know what this love thing is
So my eyes they are open now
And I know what this love thing is
