Paroles de Open Your Eyes

Monday I drifted away With some coffee to keep me awake And I sang to you one final time As this hopelessness shut up your eyes Tuesday I woke with the dawn And put my old wedding ring on She said time is a fickle mistress You can drink but you'll never fool it I am invisible to you All on my own, what can I do? Southbound is heaven This city is sin Wednesday I hung from a tree Hoping that she'd notice me And she bathed all my wounds in her tears And showered me with sympathy Thursday was harder to take With these pills piled high on my plate So I swallowed each one in a haste And in a cascade of light I was saved I am invisible to you All on my own, what can I do? Southbound is heaven This city is sin She says I'm sorry my darling Time stole the joy we were hiding I am in love and this child is yours And I don't want to live in this lie And let darkness just cover my eyes And I'm trying to get myself clean But it's all I can to do just scream
