Blue Eyed Saviour

(Michael Timmins )

Where did you go my blue eyed saviour
Where did you go my darling one
lying on that field of honour
not sure what you’re waiting on

And she won’t let him through the door
her mind is ticking through those tumbling years
the ones he’d promised he’d be there for
she says
hope: the belief that
loved ones will never die
I’ve never heard such nonsense
never heard such lies

What to do with our sputtering engine
what to do with our fading star
leaving us to wander freely
trying to find out where we are

And I can’t bare to see him go
there is just too much left on the table
there has been too much left alone
she says
hope: the belief that
loved ones will never die
I’ve never heard such nonsense
never heard such lies

Listen to my wide eyed bundle
listen to them sail the night
lost again in their caves of wonder
leaving us alone outside

I can barely stand the simple pleasure
each breath carrying just a little more weight
as I bend to adjust the comforter

I think
hope: the belief that
loved ones will never die
I’ve never heard such nonsense
never heard such lies

I think
hope: the belief that
loved ones will never die
I’ve never heard such nonsense
never heard such lies
