Black+Eyes+(song)


 * Black Eyes** is a song from the album Another Failure (1989) by Eth Eonel. It was originally written in 1989 with the title "Black Eye looking for a man with only one glove". Inspired by the original title and a 23 year old love story, Eth wrote new lyrics in 2012 and rearranged the song into the "proggy" little tune that it is.

Lyrics
Hide and seek, I see you through a veil of sorrow, there's a pause and Your character says "My love, you can't beg or borrow, believe me"

Brows on fire, revealing your disguise My desire is there in your black eyes Skin so pale, I do not dare to see Close your eyes, they're holding onto me

I am not experienced, don't know what to say But my logic is okay

You despise when I make perfect sense And you choose to take the consequence Leave behind a pocketful of lies Now my end is near, in your black eyes

I'm confused because it's hard to trace deep emotion shown in your pale face 'Tis a fact that I can not deny All too real, it makes me wanna cry

Summer days of youth they all are gone I've forgotten all, remember one Take me back so I can assure you Or even me, that all your lies are true

My pain grows strong, it takes hold Brings me down, thousandfold I don't want to feel

Mem'ry so vivid and clear Your harsh words I still hear (and) And your eyes, I see (eyes I see, a smell of early summer)

Light comes in from the left and I Imagine that your skin is soft (softer) But your eyes, so hard (than your eyes, hard as ice, cold like me)

I just wanna keep you close, a memory of one day But your will is in the way
