becca stevens - wild eyes open lyrics

mama’s sleeping in a chapel on the hill
it’s the house she couldn’t leave and
the story i can’t tell
and a bat lives in the steeple
just below the bow
hiding from the people who cry out

why me oh
keep those wild eyes open
keep them young and bright

the neighbours brought her flowers
when the garden went to seed
and the bell rang loud for hours
when it came her time to leave
and she left us like a lion
and diеd just like a lamb
if it weren’t for all hеr crying
i’d rewind just to say goodbye again

she loved my baby girl
just like the summer loves a storm
she said ‘you’re an old soul that i’ve known
since the very day that you were born’
so tell me all your secrets
you just came from where i’m going
who are you?
are you a little piece of god
come down for me to hold
a little piece of god
there’s a mouse their in the sun room
i think he’s still alive
could you drive him to the river
so he’ll live a better life
he wasn’t meant to be here
in these old church walls
and he must be getting tired of fighting

an infant to her future
standing out in the old pen
outliving every reaper
like a stubborn grain of sand
the best way to lose my hair, she said
is watch it coming out in my granddaughters hands

keep those wild eyes open
keep them young and bright

a bat lives in the steeple
so when you leave at night
just close the doors behind you
so he won’t fly inside
she left us like a lion
and died just like a lamb
if it weren’t for all my crying i’d be reaching out my hand
saying ‘momma please don’t go’
keep those wild eyes open
keep them young and bright
keep those white eyes open
it’s gonna be alright
you know
it’s gonna be alright
you know
it’s gonna be alright
