“I’ll sleep no more until you’re here beside me,
We’re growing old before our time,
Even the lighthouse keeper keeps the house lights on
Afraid to close his eyes”
“I reach for her hand and her eyes turn to poison,
Her hair turns to splinters and her flesh turns to brine,
She leaps ‘cross the room, she stands in the window
And screams that my first-born will surely be blind”
“Ramona come closer shut softly your watery eyes
The pangs of your sadness shall pass, as your senses will rise
The flowers of the city, though breath-like, get deathlike sometimes
And there’s no use in tryin’ to deal with the dyin’
Though I cannot explain that in lines”
“There’s a fire in your eyes
But something is missing
It just doesn’t burn as bright”
“It’s amazing what you have to feel sometimes just to write a line
When things look so clear through the eyes of a child,
It’s like the only things in life we remember are the things that hurt us most
Like some lovers ghost, still carrying the blame ”
“I’m going to find me a reckless woman
With razor blades and dice in her eyes
With just a touch of sadness in her fingers
And thunder and lightening in her thighs”
“I found an island in your heart
A country in your eyes
Arms that chain us, eyes that lie
Break on through to the other side”
“He came to me with the stillness of an angel
But his pain was plainly clear for me to see,
From his eyes the tears were falling,
Seeking redemption he turns to me”
“When the world won’t listen to your plans and there’s nothing left in store,
And you’re fighting shadows, chasing ghosts just like you did the day before,
When the whites of your demons eyes are the only light you see,
It’s hard to find a reason to justify the need to breathe”
“Close your eyes in fields of wonder
Close your eyes and dream”
