Quiet Eyes

(앨범: The Hole - 1986)

Tony, my head is on a pillow
Clock strikes, it's the count of four
Four hours of tossing and turning
In a big brass bed
I've tried all the tricks in the book now
But I just can't sleep no more
Tony, what's happening to me
I'm tired and I'm cold
Somehow I'm imagining things
Moving in the shadow
And my face is a painting crying
In the heat of the sun

Let the world outside, pay it's dues
I'll never know why, no matter how high
It's a sign that's been sealed and delivered
Tony, it's looking into your
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silence, and the night lasted seven years

Meanwhile I'm counting all the hours
And I've counted all the days
On the pages of a calendar
And I threw it all away
Tony, I'm trying to make some sense babe
I'm always trying to get through to you
Maybe you're the last one to notice
How much I've been loving you

Let the world outside, pay it's dues
I'll never know why, no matter how high
It's a sign that's been sealed and delivered
Tony, it's looking into your
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silence, and the night lasted seven years
