You Were Always Watching

The fire’s burning in my eyes baby
you never take me by surprise but you take me
take me on a trip into the night
my familiar fire needs a light
if I don’t come home well that’s alright
all I know’s my head’s up straight tonight
you were always watching me
you were always watching me
you were always watching me but I liked it
Take a second to yourself in this small room
you wish I were something else and the thought looms
a hundred gasps and now I feel okay
tomorrow there’s a new game we can play
you were always watching me
you were always watching me
you were always watching me but I liked it
Why’d you have to pick me
to live my days like this
I was not prepared to be this one
Chosen by the stars
they sealed my fate again
I can see you now
I can see you now
I can really see you now

I’ve got no money to give you dear
Close to a pauper I do fear
but Iiiiiii’ll give you sweet kisses
in my lips you’ll disappear
I’m not the prettiest one in town
but in my wiles you’re sure to drown
I will pick you flowers
a bouquet for every hour
and I will love you
and I will love you
to the best of my power
And I’ve been known to take good care
just call my name and I’ll be there
Holding you so sweetly
we’ll resume our love affair
I’ll be much better this time around
now that my feet are on the ground
will you call me baby?
cause I love to hear that sound
because I love you
because I love you
you’re the best one that I’ve found
tired of crying out your name
don’t seem to notice much these days
I hallucinate your skin
against my body, it’s a sin
Now I’m trying to act real tough
but the thing about you love
is now I know I’ve lost you
I’ve lost you
and my heart is all used up
I tried to love you
I tried to love you
but it never was enough

what a long hike down to that river we made
to the river that meets the sea
well I’ve been there before and I’ll come back again
just to see my baby
he’s the whisper in the woods when a storm's coming by
he’s the briar that catches my side
he’s the red sour cherry
that I gather with love
and he falls through my fingers each time
Come come come
Come come come
come come come
I’ll be waiting for the sublime
There's a time in the night when the sun settles down
to its pallet all low in the sky
when the look in your eyes is all joyful and wild
and your burdens awash in the tides
I had too much fun in the yellow spring sun
in my dress that was green as a pine
when my ankles and arms were all fleshy and warm
all abloom like a fruit on the vine
Come come come
come come come
come come come
I'll be waiting for the sublime

I told a secret in the hayloft baby
I put my feet in the grass
I'm oh so tired but don't call me lazy
I've been moving so fast
And it's the best feeling that I ever did have
And it's the best feeling that I ever did have
And it's the best feeling that I ever did have
My skin's so white from the walls now baby
I need to be in the sun
My eyes are itching are itching from the screens now lately
I haven't seen anyone
And it's the worst feeling that I ever did have
And it's the worst feeling that I ever did have
And it's the worst feeling that I ever did have
Now that the secret's in your brain now baby
Remember it and do well
Being a farmer it can drive you crazy
But one thing that you'll tell
That it's the best feeling that you ever did have
That it's the best feeling that you ever did have
That it's the best feeling that you ever did have
