Blue Eyes
By Laura McK
Verse 1
A year went by, that blue-eyed stare
Still burnin’ like a ghost in there
Buried deep inside her mind
Gentle voice, but stone-cold kind
The ties that bind, real or not
A tangled soul, a wicked plot
So sweet the words, so sharp the lies
Blind, blind, blind to the disguise
Chorus
Oh blue eyes, what a dangerous thing
A broken truth on a silver string
You pull ‘em close, then set ‘em free
Like love is just your tragedy
Blue eyes, ride into the night
Leave behind your trail of white
Ashes where the roses grew
Blue eyes, this is all on you
Verse 2
Is it fate or just a cruel design
A twisted map in a crooked line
Laid out to mess with time and trust
Turnin’ gold into dust
“Giddy up, cowboy, go home,” she cries
To empty fields and painted lies
Where precocious girls still hang around
While hearts are buried in the ground
Chorus
Oh blue eyes, what a dangerous thing
A broken truth on a silver string
You pull ‘em close, then set ‘em free
Like love is just your tragedy
Blue eyes, ride into the night
Leave behind your trail of white
Ashes where the roses grew
Blue eyes, this is all on you
Bridge
Chewin’ on that tobacco sin
Spittin’ where the hurt begins
Poison kisses on wounded skin
But you call it a win
Ride off with your satisfied grin
Like you don’t feel the war within
But someday when the stars align
The ghosts you made will cross your mind
Final Chorus
Oh blue eyes, what a dangerous game
Breakin’ hearts and dodgin’ blame
Every whisper, every lie
Still echoes in the night sky
Goodnight cowboy, rest your head
On every promise that you fled
Delete the ruins if you choose
But karma wears your blue eyes too
Outro
The distance swallows up your name
But love will never play that game…
Not again… not again…
Blue eyes.If you’d like, I can now:
