Across from me, on the bus this afternoon A girl of age ninety, eyes of blue Peering out from a body changed too soon I saw the girl so charming in her youth Her hat reveals a woman of taste Now just to get off this bus is a torturous fate She'll slowly make the way back to her place An apartment where no one awaits Blue eyes unchanged The body aged Blue eyes you are my last witnesses now Blue eyes unchanged The body aged Blue eyes tell me what you wanted to be When you grew up Blue eyes once reflected in her mother's gaze
On those summers as a child by the lake Blue eyes saw love's first embrace The boy down the road I wonder if he's alive today Young girls go laughing past on the road No one pays attention to the old But at least we know justice will be served In the end everyone gets their turn Blue eyes unchanged The body aged Blue eyes you are my last witnesses now Blue eyes unchanged The body aged Blue eyes tell me what you wanted to be When you grew up
