OLD RED EYES
Old Red Eyes

is back
Red from the

night before,
the night before
W allied into the

wrong bar,
walked into a door
And sitting late
at night he doesn't

make a sound

g
Just adding to the

wrinkles on his
deathly frow
They're only red
from all the tears
that I Should've Shed
They're only red
from all the women

that I could've wed
They could

never be blue
You never listened

to a word the
doctor said
He told you
if you drank another
you'd be dead
His shoulders ache

all over and
his brain is sore
He pours a drink

and listens to

his body thaw
They're only red
from all the

thoughts unused

inside my head

g
They're only red
from all the things
I could have

done instead
So When you look
into these eyes
I hope you realise
They could

never be blue I
They could

never be blue
Blue is a street

without an end
Red is the

colour of my hell
Blue 18 a greetnlg

from a friend
Red is the

colour of farewell
Old Red,
he died
And every single
landlord in the
dishict cried

g
An empty bottle

of whisky
laying by his side
A lazy little tear

running from

each eye
They could

never be blue
