john craigie - dog eyed girl lyrics

Loading...

to the girl with the dog eyes

you’re the only one who knows that’s a nice thing to say

i got woken up at sunrise

to your ukulele ringing through my brains

some song about a brooklyn moon

and a poor boy exhaling into you

and your chorus was that old familiar phrase

singing the road giveth and the road taketh away

to my toothless angel

you’re the only one who’ll smile at that line

i found a word for the color

of your nameless and perfect eyes

but i lost it in a drunken haze

i screamed it out into the north country rain

and when it echoed back all it did say

was the road giveth and the road taketh away

i won’t sleep when i’m dead

when i’m dead they’ll probably be other stuff to do

i don’t need to sleep i don’t need to sing this to them

i just need to sing this to you

to the girl with the dog eyes

and whatever else it was that brought me here

i hope you wake up next sunrise

with this song at the edge of your ears

and all the blue skies that warm your blood

let you realize how lucky i was

i had the perfect farewell but it somehow slipped away

singing, the road giveth and the road taketh away

- john craigie lyrics
