Sad Eyes

Josh Rouse · Best Of: Rykodisc Years [2008]

Southern style

Things are slow

You're watching all the speeding cars

Moving like you wish you could

But oh, it's too bad

'Cause they drove away your happiness and good times

But I'm gonna get you into the light

And I'm gonna find a way that is right

And I'm gonna get you into the light

Make it okay



Sad eyes

You are the only one

Who's, who's blue skies are grey

So don't cry

You'll be the only one

To make them go away



You're so young and so bored

You were staying out till late

Cause it was what your husband hated

But oh it's too bad

Cause he's stolen all your happiness and good times

But I'm gonna get you into the light

And I'm gonna find a way that is right

And I'm gonna get you into the light

Make it okay



Sad eyes

You are the only one

Who's, who's blue skies are grey

So don't cry

You'll be the only one

To make them go away

Yeah you could make them go away



Took a lot of tears

But oh you had to find those

Sympathetic years

The ones you left behind him



And I'm gonna get you into the light

And I'm gonna find a way that is right

And I'm gonna get you into the light

And make it okay



Sad eyes

You are the only one

Who's, who's blue skies are grey

So don't cry

You'll be the only one

To make them go away

Yeah you could make them go away
