Thoughtful Eyes Lyrics

You've been hiding some thoughtful eyes

I can see them from the back

There's no need to philosophize

It ain't nothin' that we lack

It ain't nothin' that we lack

It ain't nothin' that we lack

In my dreams I run with shackled feet

And looking to the ground

You smile at me holding the key

That you have just found, and say

If you can't stay back with me

Then I will have to set you free

Sometimes alone a cold, wet wind across my face

Will warm my soul more than a glowing fireplace

You think the coals are cold and dead

And they're about to burn my feet

You worked so hard to get to where you are

So hard to let go what you got

For an answer, hey, don't look far

Shall we keep our love and rot

Shall we keep our love and rot

Shall we keep our love and rot

New love was a fresh and fragrant blossom in the spring

Old love was a stale response that habit often brings

Lord have mercy, it's harder to forget

Than a pack a day smoke of cigarettes
