Bill Mallonee - Orphan Eyes lyrics

Poor kid's wounds opening up under a big sky town You got air to breathe and space to fall down The wind has a voice you came to adore Yeah and about that wound i'm to blame for And it costs so much It costs so much To keep it all hid You're wide awake with your orphan eyes Blinking wondrous in the autumn light That pa**es right through You're standing by a barbed wire fence At the scene of the accident And your skies were cobalt blue The road was a bandit and the highway was a thief You build your home in monochrome with stereo grief Faith she's a woman and to her I am bound Honey I'll treat you real good considering what I drag around Yeah and it was nearing Christmas when you bade it all goodbye I know those emptiness songs seem to love the bigger skies It's a far cry from the backyard of laughter and cartoons To a winter that glazes everything under the mirror ball moon
