Six Beautiful Eyes Look Back At Me
One day in life, I see so many tears
One day in life, I live so many years
I see the birth and death of many hearts and minds
I see the glowing happy smiles and hear the screaming cries
I feel life moving by, feel growth under the sky
I try to warn him off but on me he's cast his eye!
I sense so much fear, loneliness and despair
He stands looking at a photograph of six beautiful eyes, three people for him who care.
He cries out their names, begs for them not to blame
The whiskey encourages him to play out his game!
I stand alone, tall and strong with a man who couldn't see
That life was in his hands before he set his soul free
I stand here witness to his final act
Photograph in hand, I hear the snap!
Now I groan in pain, I shiver when the sunlight braces me
Here I am again as I have been for millennia but now a dead man......
Hangs off this tree.
