Sad Eyes

he window of your woman's eyes

Looking for a lover when you needed me most

But a lover you didn't find

Cold and far away

Do you still feel my breath on your face

You can't make sense of the space between

And I can't make it go away

Sad eyes on her Mother's side

She's got, sad eyes let down too many times

Those sad eyes will never grow old

There's a boy inside

Lost in the mile long stare

Still helpless and innocent

That your heart needed to protect

Made to understand

What it means to be a man

Daddy said, I'll give you something to cry about,

And a lesson that you'll never forget

Sad eyes on his daddy's side

He's got, sad eyes like a desert dry

Sad eye's are not his own

He's got, sad eyes like a begging bowl

Those sad eyes will never grow old
