Corner of My Eye

Staring out the window at the close of the day

Crimson leaves are falling from the trees down the way

Birds are winging southward into the evening blue

From the corner of my eye, I see you

Every so often like a trick of the light

Or a face in the crowd or a song in the night

Every so often, you come back into view

From the corner of my eye, I see you

From the corner of my eye, I think I see you

Just like a bolt out of the clear blue sky

But it's just a reflection in the window

A shadow of a raven passing by

Every so often, time plays tricks on my mind

I'll set the table with two plates only to find

Some old habits never die

But maybe it's time, maybe it's time

To let those tears fall down from the corner of my eye

From the corner of my eye, I think I see you

Just like a bolt out of the clear blue sky

But it's just a reflection in the window

A shadow of a raven passing by

The sound of crunching gravel in the still of the dawn

In a blink of an eye, I forget that you are gone

This house still holds our life story

Like a memory of an old song, it just goes on

Tonight, I'll sing it in your name, and I'll move on

From the corner of my eye, I think I see you

Just like a bolt out of the clear blue sky

But it's just a reflection in the window

A shadow of a raven passing by

A shadow of a raven passing by
