Sweet Wednesday - Curious Eyes lyrics

I didn't say nothing, all I could do was stare At her emerald eyes and her long brown hair She caught my glance from across the room I smiled back at her and then I howled at the moon Before I knew it she was sailing my way Her hair blew through the wind and her dress a bouquet Of lilac flowers and the violets in bloom And of curious eyes that could light up a room When we sailed home we both had to get jobs to get by And we spent all out money, spent it all getting high The Writing didn't work out, she never made it on stage What was once a ripe orchard became a torn page Things go right, Lord, things go wrong Sometimes all we're left with is a song Time moves fast, time goes by so slow Tell me, Lord, where did the time go? Now I hear she dates some rich man lives on 42nd Street And she wears her fancy clothes Ruby slippers on her feet I guess together couldn't make ends meet It's kind of sad thinking about it when it's love and defeat There's a place in my heart I won't let nothing come in I try to let nothing out but it's from here that I sing Of lilac flowers and the violets in bloom And of curious eyes that could light up a room
