Lyrics

When My Eyes

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Images present themselves to me

Seeds are ripe for reapin'

I can tell you sleepin'

You're everything you ever wanted to be

And nothing here is changing

No messy rearranging

Cause every set of ficus stays the same

Sinatra is always singing

And you do all the clinging

And someone else accepts my place

Whatever my imagination throws

So rugged, growing rose

When my eyes do close

When my eyes do close

When they close

Turn and face my cieling

Deep in all the feeling

Inhibitions turn to dust and fly away

Stop my eyelids flickering

With your petty bickering

But this I must say,

What I got to say

I hear my girl Dinah's playin'

And tree branches start swayin'

Run over and sit around by the roof

And I see the lips are growing

Little buds are showing

Reach out a hand

Invite him to the ............

Whatever my imagination throws

So rugged, growing rose

When my eyes do close

When my eyes do close

When they close

It's fragrant beautifully

Colorful and monochrome

Amy Winehouse alone

Far away from ringing phone at home

I turn to stone, turn to stone

And all the thoughts are static

Yeah, my singing is automatic

And I wish that I could sell it

Cause I can sense no danger

I am the lone ranger

Through the desert in a yellow caddy

With a black haired blue eyed stranger

What does that ............... drying

I've been fear for flying

I overtake Montgomery in

Never been more daring

Kitten heels I'm wearing

Reality a blow that

When I drop it lyrically

Words evolve generically

And I don't ever need to collapse in tears

And I could curse your timing

Thunderously miming

And I feel young beyond my years

Whatever my imagination throws

So rugged, growing rose

When my eyes do close

When my eyes do close

When they close
