Cover My Eyes
Marillion · At High Voltage 2010 [2010]
The light falls on her face
Dangerous lines
Dangerous colors and shapes
Ferocious designs
Connected and ready to play
Buttoned up tight
Crimson and Halloween white
She's like the girl in the movie when the spitfire falls
Like the girl in the picture that he couldn't afford
Like the girl with the smile in the hospital ward
Like the girl in the novel in the wind on the moors
Pain and heaven
Pain and heaven
The meaning of life
A hair falls out of place
Cover my eyes
Dangerous colors and shapes
And when she moves
Cover my eyes
She's like the girl on the T.V. with the red guitar
Like the girl with the dealer at the end of the bar
She's like the girl with the smile in the dream in the dark
Like the girl overtaking in the open car
Pain and heaven
Pain and heaven
Pain and heaven
Pain and heaven
Cover my eyes
The light falls on her face
Dangerous lines
Dangerous colors and shapes
Pain and heaven
