Sad Eyes

There's a girl inside
A window of your woman's eyes
Looking for a lover when you needed me most
But a lover you didn't find
Cold and far away
Do you still feel my breath on your face
You can't make sense of the space between
And I can't make it go away

Sad eyes on her mother's side, she's got
Sad eyes let down too many times, those
Sad eyes will never grow old

There's a boy inside
Lost in the mile long stare
Still helpless and innocent
That your heart needed to protect
Made to understand
What it means to be a man
Daddy said, I'll give you something to cry about
And a lesson that you'll never forget

Sad eyes on his Daddy's side, he's got
Sad eyes like a desert dry
Sad eyes are not his own, he's got
Sad eyes like a begging bowl, those
Sad eyes will never grow old
