Shiny Eyes - Flatfoot 56
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
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
And 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 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 oh shiny eyes you're still my one
Oh shiny eyes to my surprise you're still my one
