Your Eyes

We joined up like two brothers on a whim
You were tom sawyer I was huckleberry finn
We made it seem like a picnic in the sunshine
We said «what the hell»
Signed on the dotted line
But your eyes
You left them on an island
Somewhere in an ocean
Somewhere far from home
Now I’m your eyes
Someone said «watch every step you take»
Way out here all you get is one mistake
A night patrol and I did not see the wire
And all I remember is the whole world caught on fire
And my legs
I left them in a jungle
Somewhere on an island
Somewhere far away
I might have even prayed
And now that we’re heroes
I’ll keep these medals shiny and lookin' sweet
And I’ll read to you
All of the news from home
Get a dog, you can push me down the street
A compromise your legs, my eyes
I’ll be your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
