Final Eyes

When the word went round today, I lost it
Like vapour I became as I vanished
In my head I walked the sands of deserts
And all the shit I said, well I never meant it

All my heart can offer I'll give to you
If you'll make this decision for me, oh I beg of you

Acting with the candour of someone half my age
I'll hide out in the arbour until they go away
Heave a deep sigh move the oceans and the tides

Down my back I'm sweating all I'm worth
And the beads they fall like diamonds as they hit the earth
We smoke our cigarettes in silence
As the rain falls from the roof in torrents

All my heart can offer I'll give to you
If you make this decision for me, oh I beg of you

There's no peace in my head it's like echoes down a hall
I think you tried to phone me but I ignored the call
Heave a deep sigh move the oceans and the tides
Acting with the candour of someone half my age
I'll hide out in the arbour until they go away

Run until my head hurts
Fall down and my knees hurt
Keep the conversation curt
Talk in the third but not the first
