The Boxmasters Love & Hate in Desperate Places






Your Eyes


(Billy Bob Thornton/JD Andrew)

Along the way I smelled a flower
I'd never sensed that kind of power
I climbeb up on a swaying tower
And lost my grip in a witching hour

I checked for monsters under the bed
And saw myself there lying dead

Your eyes were overshadowing
Your words were overpowering
Your eyes were illuminating my rainbow
Now your eyes give up the ending
And your words don't mean anything
Your eyes tell me everything
I need to know

My heart says what my head won't say
It beats along with yesterday
The child in me still wants to play
But the man in me gets in the way

I checked for monsters under the bed
And saw myself there lying dead

Your eyes were overshadowing
Your words were overpowering
Your eyes were illuminating my rainbow
Now your eyes give up the ending
And your words don't mean anything
Your eyes tell me everything
I need to know
