Not a Trick of the Eye

It's not a trick of the eye
She said goodnight
There was no reason for goodbye
No reason for goodbye

It's not a trick of the eye to love so much
And have to leave them all behind
Have to leave them all behind
It's not a trick of the eye

We are no butterflies
We do not have the eyes for violet light
But I sure did see an innocent man
Shot dead on the street that night

It's not a trick of the еye
The flashing lights
His empty hands up to thе sky
Had his hands held to the sky

It's not a trick of the eye
Not a trick of the light
It's like they wanted him to die
It's like they wanted him to die

We are no butterflies
We do not have the eyes for violet light
But I sure did see an innocent man
Shot dead on the street that night

It's not a trick of the eye
She said goodnight
There was no reason for goodbye
