Lyrics
Ordinary 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.
Shall we begin?
Gather round, gather all:
Keep it real, strip it down
Rather not wait around
With the Hungry Eyes of a snake-oil salesman
Wait/Hurry
Water to wine
Have got the patience...
Haven't got the time
Saw Dusty Eyes...some enthused
Some act the part
(but nonetheless, plan to lose)
Something wicked-good this way comes
Not twice upon a lifetime
[CHORUS]
Blackbirds...you watch 'em...
They know the black clouds
They are all runnin' home
Lightning rod (divining toy)
When the rains come, what is your source for joy?
Looked at my life: a painted clown
un-amused
Keep it real, strip it down
Rather not wait around
With the Hungry Eyes of a snake oil salesman
[CHORUS]
Home, home.
They are all runnin' home.
