Lyrics
An Eye For An Eye
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.
No need for explanations this time
But an eye for an eye just doesn't seem right
We all fall down at the first hurdle
Will we learn from our mistakes?
Sing to me one more time
Touch this tired face of mine
Sing to me one more time
Touch this tired face of mine
I'll pull the wool out of my sore eyes
And see what was there all along
Some things last a lifetime
Well I hope this is one of them
Sing to me one more time
Touch this tired face of mine
Sing to me one more time
Touch this tired face of mine
As the sun falls out of the sky
All that I knew, all that I had, gone in the blink of an eye
The pressure will fall when a storms on its way
I wanted to tell you, I wanted to say, I'm not doing ok
Sing to me one more time
Touch this tired face of mine
Oh, sing to me one last time
Touch this tired face of mine
