I can't see you when i look at you Only see you in my memory When i find you it's just outside my sight line Between experience and fantasy Don't bear up to close inspection Close inspection of the cold hard facts Blow in and out of my life like a spirit My eye can't see you but my mind reacts Only a vision in the corner of my eye Only a vision that i see out of the corner of my eye Only a vision Said you loved me Heard that plain as day I should lose this Vision fade away What's holding on to me Just some state of mind Feeling's coming on One more time Close inspection I've checked this out again and again And it won't respond to cold hard facts Then you blow in and out of my life like a spirit My mind knows better but my heart reacts Only a vision in the corner of my eye Only a vision that i see out of the corner of my eye Only a vision girl I wish that vision that i'm seeing was real
