Tears in Her Eyes

(album: Guy Walks Into A Bar… - 2019)

Something in the dark that moves
Something in her eyes that warn me of danger
Has got me feeling strange, I fear I've come undone
Something in my life has bloomed
Something 'bout the night that brings me a stranger
Has got me feeling ways I've never felt before

And how is it now that we've found all these hounds
Sitting side by side?
Just 'round and around and around and around
Feels I've come too high

Oh, but now there's tears in her eyes
She's smiling but there's tears in her eyes
She's laughing but there's tears in her eyes
She's happy but there's tears in her eyes
She's alright, but who's laughing now?

Stories that could fill up books
Lives of rival thieves and crooks
Keeps me guessing
I've got your picture framed
In the corners of my mind
Something black to leave you blue
Words that ring out so untrue
The fear of failure has got a hold on me
And it won't let me go

'Cause I'm down for the count
You've been knocking me out
With that sucker punch
Round after round after round after round
Well, I've just got this hunch

That now there's tears in her eyes
She's laughing but there's tears in her eyes
She's smiling but there's tears in her eyes
What a clever disguise she's put on

How is it now that I'm all broken down?
Someone killed the light
It's 'round and around and around and around
Now we're out of time

But now there's tears in her eyes
She's screaming, now there's tears in her eyes
She's crying, now there's tears in my eyes
What a clever disguise she's put on

But now there's tears in her eyes
Tears are in her eyes
Yeah, now there's tears in her eyes
Tears are in my eyes
But now there's tears in my eyes
Tears are in her eyes
But now there's tears in her eyes
Tears are in my eyes
