Sad Eyed Boy ft. Lisa Clarke Lyrics

You were such a sad eyed boy

All the pictures hanging on your mother's wall

Show a face that doesn't really want to be there

Show a little boy that yeans to crawl

Back into those young sad eyes

You were such a fragile boy

Broken by the slightest noise

Shiver at the hostile voice

Brittle self-belief destroyed

You were such a fragile boy

You were such a sad eyed soul

Trouble hanging heavy on your brow

Like a crane fly tangled in a silky web

Swinging in the final throws of death

Sad eyed sorrow sad eyed dread

Pictures tell a thousand lies

Interpret them anyway you feel

The truth is there for you to steal

History free to re-write

Yesterday will be transcribed.

And I never noticed at the time

When we were young and in our youthful prime

But as I look back for a reason and a rhyme

I see a sad eyed boy staring to the skies

For a miracle of planets to align

For a miracle of planets to collide
