lyrics
What in the world were they thinking
when they sentenced you to forever?
Do they run like a clock on a spring, cold metal, unwinding?
You were just saying goodnight,
your lips on his, warm and near.
Beneath the blue moonlight
a shattering, the moon scattering.
Now there's drops of blue
falling on you.
Sidewalks full of splashes from the sky.
And sometimes I
am more than surprised
at how dry are the eyes of the world.
What in the world were they seeing?
A man with a man, his hand in your hand.
Did they try to replace your heart with stone, your eyes with glass,
your heat with cold?
They didn't know about you,
how you paint with a brush, brushing a touch.
When you finish a painting you smile and cry, at the same time,
how blue your eyes.
Now there's drops of blue
falling on you.
Sidewalks full of splashes of your life.
And sometimes I
am more than surprised
at how dry are the eyes of the world.
Tonight I hold your canva,s
the fresh paint drifting through your room.
A portrait of your lover,
unfinished, beside your bed.
You are not alone
cuz I am here holding you.
I see the portrait done,
and I smile and cry
all at once.
Now there's drops of blue,
falling on you.
Sidewalks full of splashes of my tears.
And sometimes I
am more than surprised
at how dry are the eyes of the world
the eyes of the world.
when they sentenced you to forever?
Do they run like a clock on a spring, cold metal, unwinding?
You were just saying goodnight,
your lips on his, warm and near.
Beneath the blue moonlight
a shattering, the moon scattering.
Now there's drops of blue
falling on you.
Sidewalks full of splashes from the sky.
And sometimes I
am more than surprised
at how dry are the eyes of the world.
What in the world were they seeing?
A man with a man, his hand in your hand.
Did they try to replace your heart with stone, your eyes with glass,
your heat with cold?
They didn't know about you,
how you paint with a brush, brushing a touch.
When you finish a painting you smile and cry, at the same time,
how blue your eyes.
Now there's drops of blue
falling on you.
Sidewalks full of splashes of your life.
And sometimes I
am more than surprised
at how dry are the eyes of the world.
Tonight I hold your canva,s
the fresh paint drifting through your room.
A portrait of your lover,
unfinished, beside your bed.
You are not alone
cuz I am here holding you.
I see the portrait done,
and I smile and cry
all at once.
Now there's drops of blue,
falling on you.
Sidewalks full of splashes of my tears.
And sometimes I
am more than surprised
at how dry are the eyes of the world
the eyes of the world.
