Cocorosie - Happy Eyez lyrics

rate me

They call me Wee Willie Winkie

I'm tired and blinky

Eyeless and poor

Promise I don't snore by candle light

I kiss the shimmering cheeks of little children

Having a mother

I lost in the street

A skinny jungle child

Wayward and windy

Sinful and pretty

I visit the graves of boys

Dead at war

Shipwreck sailors

Don't ask, don't tell

Sweet fragrance of moon has brought me to your room

Where you waft milky magic from that ancient loom

I only have eyes for you

Oh Lord, please tell me you're watching me too

My mother I seek

I long to curl up meek

In the lap of your laughter

You wanted a daughter

I ain't no Jesus

If you give me a dress

I could become your princess

My mother I seek

I long to curl up meek

In the lap of your laughter

You wanted a daughter

I ain't no Jesus

If you give me a dress

I could become your princess

I only I have eyes for you

Oh Lord, please tell me you're watching me too
