Smiling Eyes

from Rituals by Pat Byrne

/

about

This is the first song I ever wrote! It's about how having someone in your life that can make the unbearable things bearable.

lyrics

The train's overcrowded, My Shirt isn't clean
My frail tired body is nestled between
A man on his phone shouting numbers and stats
And a Mother who can't get her child to relax
And I can't wait to get home and see your Smiling Eyes.

My head hits the pillow, my eyes start to shake
fears wrestle failures and keep me awake
And dreams just remind me of who I should be
My head says I'm fine, then my heart disagrees
And I cant wait to wake up and see your smiling eyes
Cause nothing compares to the warmth of your smiling eyes

When the road in the distance is long and the suns on your back
When the rain's falling sideways and blows you off track
I think of the things that remind me of you

When the road in the distance is long and the suns on your back
When the rain's falling sideways and blows you off track
I think of the things that remind me of you

When the Beckoning Darkness is hard to ignore
When vessels of friendship have drifted ashore
When I'm under the influence, far from your gaze
And all of the colors and lines start to fade
I'll never be far from the warmth of your Smiling Eyes
And nothing compares to the warmth of your Smiling Eyes
