Sleepy Eyed Boy

Sleepy Eyed Boy

(album: Storm Windows - 1980)

Where are the boot straps
To lift myself up?
Where is the well
Where I once filled my cup?
Where does this sorrow
All turn into joy?
And where oh where is the sleepy eyed boy?

Where is my true love
When the wind starts to moan?
Is she out in the wild,
Is she there all alone?
Have I cast her aside
Like an unwanted toy?
Tell me where oh where is the sleepy eyed boy?

He's going down the backroads
In a cold pouring rain
He's a waiting for a postcard
In the south coast of Spain
Postmarked from a sweetheart
Back in ol' Illinois
Saying where oh where is my sleepy eyed boy?
