"I think I'll sing you a little ballad.
|
It's a new one. I just learnt it.
|
Oh, I hope you like it."
|
|
Got my mother's eyes and my father's hair.
|
Does anybody really care?
|
It's gettin' cold out here.
|
|
Well, I keep walkin' with my head held high,
|
with my head to the sky,
|
with my mother's eyes.
|
|
And my mother's eyes are with me
|
in the darkness that's been paid for.
|
I'm just a nameless stranger, don't know why.
|
|
Have I seen all that I could?
|
Have I seen more than I should
|
with my mother's eyes?
|
|
Have I seen all that I could?
|
Have I seen more than I should
|
with my mother's eyes?
|
|
And my mother's eyes are with me
|
in the chilly winds of autumn.
|
If I ain't here by winter, she'll know why.
|
|
I've seen all that I dare.
|
I've seen more than my share.
|
Forgive me if I stare with my mother's eyes.
