Eyes So Blue

She came from Jackson Hollow, when her schooling all had ended
We became good friends, or at least we both pretended
She reminded me of me, or of what I'd been before
And, the time she flustered red, when I told her she meant more, to me

What place have you lived, that a man could make you tremble?
I'd found no one like you, and I never could dissemble
Flower in the desert, my bright and shining girl
Gem of deepest ocean, my soft, exquisite pearl

I'd never seen eyes so blue, in a face of flax and linen
Or a smile so inviting too, what answer could be given?

Confident and free, the world at your feet
You were bold and you were fine, so faithful and discrete
You reminded me of me, or of what I'd been before
And, the time you flustered red, when I told you you meant more to me

You loved another man, only he would never have you
You wasted all our time, wanting only him to cling to
You reminded me of me, or of what I'd been before
And, the time you flustered red, when I told you you meant more to me

I'd never seen eyes so blue, in a face of flax and linen
Or a smile so inviting too, what answer could be given?

I found another girl, only doing what I must
And you found, without love, life was only dust
You reminded me of me, or of what I'd been before
And, the time you flustered red, when I told you you meant more to me

She came from Jackson Hollow, when her schooling all had ended
We became good friends, or at least we both pretended
She reminded me of me, or of what I'd been before
And, the time she flustered red, when I told her she meant more to me

I'd never seen eyes so blue, in a face of flax and linen
Or a smile so inviting too, what answer could be given?
I'd never seen eyes so blue, in a face of flax and linen
Or a smile so inviting too, what answer could be given?
