Laurie Anderson - My Right Eye Lyrics

Laurie Anderson Lyrics

"My Right Eye"

Concentration. Empty your mind
Let the rest of the world go by
Hold your breath. Hold your breath. Close your eyes

Rocks and stones. Broken bones
Everything eventually comes crawling home
In the night. In the night

Please forgive me if I fall short of your mark
But there are things still buried in my heart, pause
Heart pause. Heart pause. Then vanish. Then vanish

Unstoppable time. All the things you left behind
In the night. In the night
Concentration. Empty your mind
Let the rest of the world go by

And when the tears fall from both my eyes
They fall from my right eye because I love you
And they fall from my left eye 'cause I cannot bear you

Rocks and stones. Broken bones
Everything eventually comes crawling home
In the night. In the night

Comes crawling. In the night. Comes crawling. In the night
Comes crawling home. In the night. In the night
