Lyrics
Fall from my eyes before I cry,
A simple message against the rough.
A wink and a smile from God above.
Simple in words, deep in form,
a sense of grace in sunshine
make me long for a place that’s mine.
Have you seen what lies within
gentle motion beneath the skin?
Can you deny all the things you feel?
I look in your face, a distant stare
no sense of knowing if you care.
But don’t bother with me, I’m half-way gone.
This simple rhyme I’m trying to sing
wont make me famous or buy you things.
But what do you think tonight about me?
