"Prettiest Eyes" lyrics
"Prettiest Eyes"
Line one is the time
That you, you first stayed over at mine
And we drank our first bottle of wine
And we cried
Line two, we're away
And we both, we both had nowhere to stay
Well, the bus shelter's always OK
When you're young
Now you're older and I look at your face
Every wrinkle is so easy to place
And I only write them down just in case
That you die
Let's take a look at these crow's feet, just look
Sitting on the prettiest eyes
60 25th of Decembers
59 4th of Julys
Not through the age or the failure, children
Not through the hate or despise
Take a good look at these crow's feet
Sitting on the prettiest eyes
Line three I forget
But I think, I think it was our first ever bet
And the horse we backed was short of a leg
Never mind
Line four in a park
And the things, the things that people do in the dark
I could hear the faintest beat of your heart
Then we did
Now you're older and I look at your face
Every wrinkle is so easy to place
And I only write them down just in case
You should die
Lets take a look at these crow's feet, just look
Sitting on the prettiest eyes
60 25th of Decembers
59 4th of Julys
You can't have too many good times, children
You can't have too many lines
Take a good look at these crow's feet
Sitting on the prettiest eyes
Well, my eyes look like a map of the town
And my teeth are either yellow or they're brown
But you'll never hear the crack of a frown
When you are here
You'll never hear the crack
Of a frown
Of a frown
Of a frown
Of a frown

Meet me down by the gallow tree.

Salutations fill the air
Oh, gravity
It follows me
Wherever I go
Find the child inside of me
This rusty key will set him free
Oh, gravity
