Two Blue Eyes

Cold breaks the mirror there
Hope beige as paper ware
Rope and my father's scroll
I'm open as a bell before the toll

Days upon the lonely pyre of our youth
I fell in love with two blue eyes, and that's you
She's awake, she cries, we carry on
Eyes are closed to see the sun is gone
And then the day is done

Child cries for mother's hand, she runs
Smoke in the mirror and, these guns
Hold me so near again
I'm broken as a bell after the war

Days upon the lonely pyre of our youth
I fell in love with two blue eyes, and that's you
She's awake, she cries we carry on
Eyes are closed to see the sun is gone
And then our day is done

Don't be long no, don't be a drifter no, I let the basin fill
Don't be long no, don't be that leftover minute
Who we are
Who we are

Days upon the lonely pyre of our youth
I fell in love with two blue eyes, and that's you
She's awake, she cries we carry on
Eyes are closed to see the sun is gone
And then our day is done
