After about a thirteen year break from Guitarnoise Songwriters' Forum, (and from songwriting), I am back. Comments, please:
She shows me the reflection of myself
Then leaves me sitting on her little shelf
Longing for another chance to see
Those eyes that drive the nails into me
Oh, oh, those eyes, though
She looks into the very depths of me
Her gaze breaks me down and sets me free
She views the inner workings of my soul
But, oh, oh, those eyes, though!
Oh, oh, those eyes, though
Setting myself up for the fall
Standing myself up against the wall
Tying my own blindfold on
Loading the gun with which she shoots me down
Those eyes!
But, oh, oh, those eyes, though!
But, oh, oh, those eyes, though
Those eyes can melt the sun from the sky
Those eyes can tell the truth from a lie
Those eyes can build or tear apart
Those eyes can mend or break a heart
Those eyes!
Oh, oh, those eyes, though!
Oh, oh, those eyes, though
Living all alone within my mind
No matter where I run, those eyes can find
I could not hide from them, nor would I try
They know the very nature of my soul
Oh, oh, those eyes, though
Don't turn those eyes away from my own
Until they've discovered every secret I hold
Then let their softness envelope me
'Til then I'm trapped by their mystery
Oh, oh, those eyes, though
Setting myself up for the fall
Standing myself up against the wall
Tying my own blindfold on
Loading the gun with which she shoots me down
Those eyes!
But, oh, oh, those eyes, though!
But, oh, oh, those eyes, though
Those eyes can melt the sun from the sky
Those eyes can tell the truth from a lie
Those eyes can build or tear apart
Those eyes can mend or break a heart
Those eyes!
Oh, oh, those eyes, though!
Oh, oh, those eyes, though
Oh, oh, those eyes, though!
Oh, oh, those eyes, though
He not busy being born is busy dying. - Bob Dylan (It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding)
