Black & White Eyes

from Black & White Eyes by Chris Rawlins

lyrics

Sunday mornings come and go
Your eyes stuck in your head like stones
Ivy growing wild up on the wall

Where you lean your back upon
The days like smoke already gone
And you finally seem to understand it all

I’ll stare at your face
Is this all you’re gonna leave behind?
Your faded smile
Your black and white eyes

I see you from miles away
Your past and future here to day
I see the steam boiling out your mouth

Something that you want to say?
Words like steam, boiling away
Sometimes you don’t know till you let it out

I’ll stare at your face
Is this all you’re gonna leave behind
Your crooked smile
Your black and white eyes

Lights come on at the strangest times
You hide your thoughts trying to heal your mind
Like the last leaves on the ground
Like you won’t see me around

Sunday evening gone again
Somewhere over Michigan
Someone you love waving at the glass

I’ll stare at your face
Is this all you’re gonna leave behind
Your faded love
Your black and white eyes
