"Cat's Eye Blue" lyrics

Is this wicked word,
Too bad to be spoken?
You let the heart attack in
One taste and it's broken

Then the little bird sang
But the world couldn't bear it
And the song that it sang
Made me so aware that

We lost something, babe
So only come if you wanna
Make me work for it, babe
I'm not getting any younger

And the little bird sang
And the world couldn't hear it
And the song that it sang
Made me so aware that

Daddy, take down your sorrow
Cat's eye blue sky, let go
Let the light of the world open your eyes
Cash that check tomorrow
Same damn talk, it's real though
Let the light of the world open your eyes

Been a shipwreck babe
I sank 'cause I've seen it
Ain't perfect baby
You can hear when I'm singing

Little bird on the wing
Almost too quiet to notice
I'll follow the thing
That makes me so aware that

Daddy, take down your sorrow
Cat's eye blue sky, let go
Let the light of the world open your eyes
Cash that check tomorrow
Same damn talk, it's real though
Let the light of the world open your eyes

Daddy, take down your sorrow
Cat's eye blue sky, let go
Let the light of the world open your eyes
Cash that check tomorrow
Same damn talk, it's real though
Let the light of the world open your eyes
