Blind faith explorer, I'm on a mission impossible, I know
But I got a little burnin' light
Of the stories I told her, the final cut was the deepest one of all
Then she vanished clean outta sight
I hit the floor around 4.47 with the mornin' blues, cryin like a puppy dog
It takes some time to come out, face the music gotta pay your dues
You're the only one I want
Last time tonight, then I'm gonna cry gonna put this right
I been dyin, girl I just ain't been feelin' right
Yes I'm in trouble I know it, you shot me down, burnin' like a heart attack
Out over you yeah, my brown eyed girl
I guess I swear her hair was midnight black
Don't say it's over, I'm goin' walking baby why don't you come along?
And steal a little precious time
Baby gimme your number, so I can bug you, I'll be callin' you up all night
With all my rythym all my rhyme
I held the angel in a headlock honey till the sun rose through
Fighting with the lord above
He touched me square in the heart, like a kiss with a fist I knew
Tryin' to learn me how to love
Last time tonight, then I'm gonna cry gonna put this right
I been dyin, girl I just ain't been feelin' right
Yes I'm in trouble I know it, you shot me down, burnin' like a heart attack
Out over you yeah, my brown eyed girl
I guess I swear her hair was midnight black
I hit the floor around 4.47 with the mornin' blues, cryin like a puppy dog
It takes some time to come out, face the music gotta pay your dues
You're the only one I want
Last time tonight, then I'm gonna cry gonna put this right
I been dyin, girl I just ain't been feelin' right
Yes I'm in trouble I know it, you shot me down, burnin' like a heart attack
Out over you yeah, my brown eyed girl
I guess I swear her hair was midnight black
