your face is black as soot to him
with your back turned he uses your name
in sin
but you still want him.
yeah.
i just want to study your face; i
just want to sing praise to your name.
but you still want him.
yeah.
blue eyes
you
blind as
you
want him
to
be so
true
he's got
you
what can i do?
spend time writing letters you'll never receive.
embroider your name in the heart on my sleeve.
thank the lord each night for the strength i've been given.
cause blind as you are you might see me in heaven.
your gleaming white hands are tied fast
with your back bent, he'll drop you like porce-
lain smashed.
but you still love him.
yeah
i just want to watch you go free; i
just want our arms locked where others can see.
but you still love him.
yeah
blue eyes
you
blind as
you
want him
to
be so
true
he's got
you
what can i do?
speak in back-boards that he uses you dreary.
follow you down till my legs become weary.
thank the lord each night for the strength i've been given.
cause blind as you are you might see me in heaven.
your petticoat is torn and stained.
with your back burned he bruises you, un-
restrained.
but you still need him.
yeah.
i just want to dress you in lace; i
just want to wipe the scars from your face.
but you still need him.
yeah.
blue eyes
you
blind as
you
want him
to
be so
true
he's got
you
what can i do?
melt him in the sun like forgotten non-pareils.
carry a gun with his name on the barrel.
thank the lord each night for the strength i've been given.
cause blind as you are you might see me in heaven.
