Lids of Your Eyes

from Penny Sweets by Red Rattles

/

lyrics

Restless murmurs I heard on the porch
Were coming from the inside
I’d escaped by a cigarette close company
And waded back in my mind

The lids of your eyes
Were like drapes in the sun
I could look at the rest of my days.
Baby, you don’t fade.

Humid grievances rose in the air
The heavens were open, light hung like your hair
And the streeets were all wet.

You said, take what you need
Take what you need.
We leave when we leave
We got where we go
And I know, you know.

Can’t count all the times I pushed right through
Reluctant to be here at all
But there’s always surviving to do
And you hold my gaze as I fall.

The lids of you eyes were like drapes in the sun.
The one true love I know I’ve seen.
Know you’re here with me.
