My One Good Eye

When the daylight softens in the failing sun And the azure sky fades into the twilight Comes a yearning for that old salvage yard Where time comes strolling over every night Won't you pause to reflect on what went wrong With that righteous ride on in through the sunrise Brought a brooding along with extra cigarettes If I can find some with my one good eye If I can find some I'll save some for you I'll try to hide some for whenever you come through We'll get to hang and we'll try not to tell lies The next time I see you With my one good eye Notice how the creek don't run all that clear anymore When the whole world is liking that one shot deal And then that junk pile yearning is making the scene With a razor blade and that trusty old reel-to-reel Can't we hurry on by that raving flagrant mob Without drawing too much into our design To be the brooder and the yearner all at once Helps me find some with my one good eye If I can find some I'll save some for you I'll try to hide some for whenever you come through We'll get to hang and we'll try not to tell lies The next time I see you With my one good eye When it is at night you hear just crickets and frogs And that's all there is above the whistling of the gale So the sounds grow louder inside your head Lets you leave this world behind along the trail Shall we find out just how we like it here In someplace new from whence we came Where we can both brood and yearn So we won't have anything be the same If I can find some I'll save some for you I'll try to hide some for whenever you come through We get to hang and we'll try not to tell lies The next time I see you With my one good eye
