Golden Earring - Quiet Eyes lyrics

rate me

From the Albums:

* The hole

* Naked II

Tony - my head's on a pillow

Clock strikes it's the count of four

Four hours of tossin' & turnin'

In a big brass bed

I've tried all the tricks in the book now

But I just can't sleep no more

Tony, what's happenin' to me

I'm tired & I'm cold

Somehow I'm imagining things

Movin' in the shadow

And my face is a painting crying

In the heat of the sun

Let the world outside - pay it's dues

I'll never know why - no matter how high

It's a sign that's been sealed & delivered

Tony, it's lookin' into your

Quiet eyes - silent tears

Silent as the night you deserted me

Quiet eyes - silent tears

Silence - & the night lasted seven years

Meanwhile I'm counting all the hours

& I've counted all the days

On the pages of a calendar

& I threw it all away

Tony I'm tryin' to make some sense baby

I'm always tryin' to get through to you

Maybe you're the last one to notice

How much I've been lovin' you

Let the world outside - pay it's dues

I'll never know why - no matter how high

It's a sign that's been sealed & delivered

Tony, it's lookin' into your

Quiet eyes - silent tears

Silent as the night you deserted me

Quiet eyes - silent tears

Silent as the night you deserted me

Quiet eyes - silent tears

Silence - & the night lasted seven years

Quiet eyes - silent tears

Silent as the night you deserted me

Quiet eyes - silent tears

Silence - & the night lasted seven years

Quiet eyes - silent tears

Silent as the night you deserted me

Quiet eyes - silent tears

Silence - & the night lasted seven years
