Shiny Eyes
by Flatfoot 56

Album: Black Thorn

In times of hell, in times of sun, you journeyed with me, my precious one. Far stretched the road I found you on. We walked together arm in arm. Oh, shiny eyes, bright as the sun. You were my treasure, my dearest one. Oh, shiny eyes, right where you stand. You were my own, I was your man. Oh, shiny eyes, to my surprise, you're still my one. Now lives are shaken, hearts are changed. You touched them all, you knew their names. You helped the weak, the poor, the meek. And selfish treasure, you didn't seek. Alas, my dear, I miss you. These thousand miles they burn through my soul. Hold on, my dear, just one more day. Your haggard boy is coming back home. And now in death, I bid farewell. A song to sing, your story I'll tell. But I can't bear to see you, dear. Your shiny eyes no longer here. Oh, shiny eyes, bright as the stars. Now lay in death's eternal arms. Oh, shiny eyes, stare back through me. Now resting at your father's feet. Oh, shiny eyes, to my surprise, you're still my one.
