Fresh Pair Of Eyes

'Cause I want to be seen With a fresh pair of eyes The single white tree In a black hood of disguise I want, I want to be seen With a fresh pair of eyes The single, the single white tree In a black hood of disguise I miss God... I miss God... I miss God... I miss God...

One summer evening, drunk to hell I stood there nearly lifeless An old man in the corner sang "Where the Water Lilies Grow" And on the jukebox Johnny sang About a thing called love And it's how are you kid, and what's your name And how would you bloody know? In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky I lay down on the ground And the arms and legs of other men Were scattered all around Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed Then prayed and bled some more And the only thing that I could see Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me But when we got back, labeled parts one to three There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go For a pair of brown eyes I looked at him, he looked at me All I could do was hate him While Ray and Philomena sang Of my elusive dreaming I saw the streams, the rolling hills Where his brown eyes were waiting And I thought about a pair of brown eyes That waited once for me So drunk to hell, I left the place Sometimes crawling, sometimes walking A hungry sound came through the breeze So I gave the walls a talking And I heard the sounds of long ago From the old canal And the birds were whistling in the trees Where the wind was gently laughing And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go For a pair of brown eyes A pair of brown eyes

All that I want is A pair of wings to fly Into the blue of The wide open sky Show me your scars I'll show you mine Perched out of the city On a pair of power lines On grounds I'll sing and dance (?) I just might fall But I'll take that chance All that I want is A pair of wings to fly Into the blue of The wide open sky Show me your scars I'll show you mine Perched out of the city On a pair of power lines On grounds I'll sing and dance I just might fall But I'll take that chance All that I want is A pair of wings to fly Into the blue of The wide open sky Show me your scars I'll show you mine Perched out of the city On a pair of power lines All that I want is A pair of wings to fly Into the blue of The wide open sky Show me your scars I'll show you mine Perched out of the city On a pair of power lines All that I want is A pair of wings to fly Into the blue of The wide open sky Show me your scars I'll show you mine Perched out of the city On a pair of power lines

He had the best of both worlds Yours and mine And I bet he's proud of himself The way he split his time Telling all his friends How good it feels to play both ends I'm sure in all of their eyes That you and I are One of a kind, a pair of fools Two women one man's been lying to You thought you were the only one, I thought I was too We're one of a kind, a pair of fools Honey, we could talk this out Like the best of friends But we're not to blame for the pain That, that man has put us in When we break the news That you know about me and I know about you After what he's done He better start to run from this One of a kind, a pair of fools Two women one man's been lying to You thought you were the only one, I thought I was too We're one of a kind, a pair of fools When we break the news That you know about me and I know about you After what he's done He better start to run from this One of a kind, a pair of fools Two women one man's been lying to You thought you were the only one, I thought I was too I guess we see now what blind love can do We're one of a kind, a pair of fools Two women one man's been lying to You thought you were the only one
