lyrics

Blood in my eyes

Woke up smiling, with the sun so high
Laughing in the face of all the people passing by
And as the day wore out, and the sky grew grey
My heart grew blue, seeing you was so far away

Oh baby, I’ve got blood in my eyes for you
Oh darlin’, there’s a space in my heart

You filled my head with what the future may hold
Before I knew it, I was out in the cold
I didn’t even get to the end of the street
I was back in your arms, feeling your heat

Oh baby, I’ve got blood in my eyes for you
Oh darlin’, there’s a space in my heart

I woke with a sweat, I knew it was wrong
I could feel it in my bones, the conception of this song
The blood ran hot, lust turned to woe
My body felt abandoned from my head down to my toes, to my toes

I wrote you a letter, I sent it first class
You’ll maybe read it, at the bottom of your glass
And as you raised your head, with your glazed red eyes
I’ll be gone, like a bird into the skies

Oh baby, I’ve got blood in my eyes for you
Oh baby, there’s a space in my heart
