lyrics

SLEEP IN YOUR EYE
Sleep in your eye you’ve been up all night / how you going to make it till morning light
Take all you can from the buck and the gin / You don’t need to know where the bottle’s been
Draw a line in the sand walk like a man / You’re heading for the big-time again
No more dragging your bones against the wind / You’ll be shooting like an arrow straight as a pin

Time you were only waiting for time / Love you could never see it flying right straight past you
Time you were only waiting for time / Love you were always a beat behind / Waiting for your number

Days go by faster than light / temperature’s rising the sun’s too bright
And so flies the crow by your window side / just let it go past you’ll be alright
Keep digging in land where treasure’s been/ till dirt on your hands turns gold again
Take all you can from the buck and the gin / you’ll be shooting like an arrow straight as pin

Time you were only waiting for time / Love you could never see it flying right straight past you
Time you were only waiting for time / Love you were always a beat behind / Waiting for your number

You were only waiting for the stars to align in a little way
To light up where you are and to shake away the grey
Sleep in your eye
