A Clean Pair of Eyes - David Gray

Hear me God I’m on the level

Mapping silence seeing things

Crying laughing like the devil

And before the might

Of all that’s seen

I’ll raise my head

And wake to dream

With a clean pair of eyes

Murdered gold and colours flashing

Time like blood like flowing hair

Faces merging airplanes crashing

And before the might

Of all that’s true

I’ll raise my head

And dream anew

With a clean pair of eyes

A clean pair of eyes

Don’t need no one to blame

Don’t need no disguise

No sugar to sweet my brain

A clean pair of eyes

Today I need no commentary

Today I do not need to speak

No explanation necessary

And before the might

Of al that’s seen

I’ll raise my head

And dream again

With a clean pair of eyes

A clean pair of eyes

Don’t need no right or wrong

Don’t need no disguise

No sugar to fix my tongue

A clean pair of eyes

Liquid air and flags that ripple

A tambourine of smoke suns

Love that blinds up fear that cripples

And before the might

Of all that’s seen

I’ll raise my head

And wake to dream

And before the might

Of all that’s true

I’ll raise my head

And dream anew

And before the might

Of all unnamed

I’ll raise my head

And dream again

Dream again

Dream again

Dream again

Dream again
