All of our friends are gathered here tonight they've brought their wine and their cigarettes and photographs and candlelight oh I know they're gonna start with those old stories about who ran around doing what to whom who was under the shower who disappeared for hours in the other room but I kept my eye on you, all the while I kept my eye on you I kept my eye on you there's a certain kind of person who stays until the end of the night even good friends go missing but it's too bad you know you lose some in the fight and when I think of the dice that we were rolling it's a miracle that any of us made it through and I'd be dead five times over if half of what I think I remember is true but I kept my eye on you all the while I kept my eye on you I kept my eye on you all over town I ran downtown and all around I left my fingerprints on what I could not put down now I'm gonna leave a note addressed to the very last button on your cotton dress all of the time those monkeys let you down but I kept my eye on you when I ran the lights I kept you in my sights when we got our kicks your name was on my lips I wouldn't blame you if you thought I was just one of those flakey guys all of the years when I was walking into walls just like I was blind but I kept my eye on you all the while I kept my eye on you I kept my eye on you now I kept my eye on you all the while, all the while I kept my eye on you
