Eyes

(a blues song)

Dyes of ruin live in your eyes
The pain of beauty transfixes my lies
Believe in me sweetheart, I am true
No longer will I leave you so blue

Your eyes are pits of weeping blackness
Waiting to be filled into pools of happiness
Believe in me sweetheart, I am true
No longer will I leave you so blue

Haven't I acted the fool, I can taste the pain
But now join together, let's rid this acid rain
Believe in me sweetheart, I am true
No longer will I leave you so blue
