Ian Hunter - Open My Eyes - Sözleri

(ian hunter/darrel bath)



(transcribed by colin ford)



On the avenue of dead umbrellas

In a place where nothin' sleeps

No one's pickin' up the pieces - no one speaks

Snow falls down - God dusts funky town

For once this place looks pure

Tell that to the people who live in the wind - they ain't so sure



In the middle of a violent night - in the glare of a naked light

In the middle of a nightmare

At the bottom of the deepest well - in the middle of a private hell

Shit scared - out there - nowhere



Then I open my eyes - ice on the window - the sun is tryin' to break through



Then I open my eyes - in the land of the livin' - and it's all right

Seen a man rattle in a battle that no one could win

I had to turn my soul away

Shit's gonna happen - whether you like it or not

S' just the way it is



Then I open my eyes - boats on the river - headin' down the east side

Then I open my eyes - and the trash(? ) slips away

Soft and supple - like some alibi

You been walkin in her sleep - there ain't no cure for the secrets you hide



In the middle of my wildest dream - in a place where nothin's what it seems



At the time of a great loss

From the hoods and the broken homes - this danger's got a smell of it's own

In the middle of c-c-chaos

In the valley of the shadow of death - the bellevue boys out kickin' ass

In the middle of fire

Inside the belly of the beast - in a place where wonders never cease

You go higher, higher, higher



Then I open my eyes - life in a nutshell - it's over 'fore you know it

Then I open my eyes



And the city wakes up - puts coffee in cups - when I open my eyes

And the kids go to school - imus rules - when I open my eyes

I love you n' you love me

N' it rains so I buy an umbrella from the guy on 23rd and second avenue
