My One Good Eye Lyrics

When the daylight softens in the failing sun

And the azure sky fades into the twilight

Comes a yearning for that old salvage yard

Where time comes strolling over every night

Won't you pause to reflect on what went wrong

With that righteous ride on in through the sunrise

Brought a brooding along with extra cigarettes

If I can find some with my one good eye

If I can find some I'll save some for you

I'll try to hide some for whenever you come through

We'll get to hang and we'll try not to tell lies

The next time I see you

With my one good eye

Notice how the creek don't run all that clear anymore

When the whole world is liking that one shot deal

And then that junk pile yearning is making the scene

With a razor blade and that trusty old reel-to-reel

Can't we hurry on by that raving flagrant mob

Without drawing too much into our design

To be the brooder and the yearner all at once

Helps me find some with my one good eye

If I can find some I'll save some for you

I'll try to hide some for whenever you come through

We'll get to hang and we'll try not to tell lies

The next time I see you

With my one good eye

When it is at night you hear just crickets and frogs

And that's all there is above the whistling of the gale

So the sounds grow louder inside your head

Lets you leave this world behind along the trail

Shall we find out just how we like it here

In someplace new from whence we came

Where we can both brood and yearn

So we won't have anything be the same

If I can find some I'll save some for you

I'll try to hide some for whenever you come through

We get to hang and we'll try not to tell lies

The next time I see you

With my one good eye
