Eyes

Sure as you walk

I'll be waiting patiently

In the window above the street

Clear to the park

Where you circle as routine

Every afternoon I know just where you'll be

Year after year

As the vines grow ever North

No suspicion at all

That you're mine to see with

Eyes that hold you up on solid ground

Eyes that know you better than you know yourself

But I'm not ready yet

I can't tell you yet

And when the rain

Washes over this city

All the sidewalks are calm but for your feet

Folds in the sheets

Like a secret we both keep

All the coldness of your air blows in to me

Shame upon shame

Every night ends the same

No suspicion at all

That you're mine to keep with

Eyes that hold you up on solid ground

Eyes that know you better than you know yourself

Eyes that understand the hope you need

Eyes that long to view you constantly

But I'm not ready yet

I'm not ready yet

Eyes that lift you up above the ground

Eyes that never know when to look down

Eyes that see the best of the world passing by
