Eyes

Sure as you walk
I'll be waiting patiently
In the window above the street
Clear to the park
Where you circle as routine
Every afternoon I know just where you'll be
Year after year
As the vines grow ever North
No suspicion at all
That you're mine to see with

Eyes that hold you up on solid ground
Eyes that know you better than you know yourself
But I'm not ready yet
I can't tell you yet

And when the rain
Washes over this city
All the sidewalks are calm but for your feet
Folds in the sheets
Like a secret we both keep
All the coldness of your air blows in to me
Shame upon shame
Every night ends the same
No suspicion at all
That you're mine to keep with

Eyes that hold you up on solid ground
Eyes that know you better than you know yourself
Eyes that understand the hope you need
Eyes that long to view you constantly
But I'm not ready yet
I'm not ready yet

Eyes that lift you up above the ground
Eyes that never know when to look down
Eyes that see the best of the world passing by
