Hazel Eyes - Bowerbirds

Counting the ripples on the morning lake

No space, no time, no state

And this, the mirror to the weight in my eyes

But the water is not revealing till the feelings multiply

And you’ll never have to leave

You’ll never have to leave

You’ll never have to leave, you’ll never have to leave

Till the wind, like kisses, blows you back to me

Was I a patient or addled child?

With the wide hazel eyes

I remember such magical times

But the memory’s not revealing till it’s fully revised

And you’ll never have to leave

You’ll never have to leave

You’ll never have to leave, you’ll never have to leave

Till the wind, like kisses, blows you back to me

Now I’ve spent days like a pawn, days like a queen

And I still don’t know what works for me

As the world burns sideways and upways and down

The band plays on and I’m still here somehow

And you’ll never have to leave

You’ll never have to leave

You’ll never have to leave, you’ll never have to leave

Till the wind, like kisses, blows you back to me

Counting the ripples on the morning lake

No space, no time, no state
