Bill Mallonee - Wide Awake With Orphan Eyes (Mirror Ball Moon) lyrics

Poor kid's wound...opening up... Under a big sky town Air to breathe..... Space to fall down Yeah, the wind has a voice... You came to adore And about that wound? Well, I'm to blame for... (Subchorus) And it costs so much... It costs so much To keep it all hid (chorus) Wide awake with your orphan eyes Blinking wondrous in the Autumn light That pa**es right through you Standing by a barbed wire fence At the scene of the accident And your skies are cobalt blue And your skies are cobalt blue Faith, she's a woman... And to her I am bound Honey, I'll treat you well.... Considerin' what I drag around It was nearing Christmas... When you bade it all goodbye I know those loneliness songs Are gonna need a bigger sky It's a far cry from the backyard... Of laughter and cartoons To winter that glazes everything... Under a mirror ball moon
