Lyrics
Happy Eyez
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.
They call me Wee Willy Winkie
Tired and blinky
Eyeless and poor, promise I don't snore by candlelight
I kissed the shimmering cheeks of little children
Having some other eyes
Lost in the streets
A skinny jungle child
Wayward and windy
Sinful and pretty
I visit the graves of boys
Dead I was
Shipwreck sailors, don't ask don't tell
Sweet fragtance of moon
Has brought me to your room
Where you waft milky magic from ancient loom
I only have eyes for you
Oh lord please tell me you're watching me too
My mother I seek
I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
And I ain't no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess
My mother I seek I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
And I ain't no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess
I only have eyes for you
oh lord please tell me you're watching me too
