Dolphin Eyes Lyrics

Lovers Dolphin Eyes

dolphin eyes, i owe you my life. i filled a thermos up
with turpentine. my super duper sleep inducer. my extra-
strength pain reducer. and if you hadn't come around i'd
have made it underground. but with dolphin eyes and a
sigh that smiles, you turned the jet plane around three
thousand miles. our younger days you'd come crawling to
my crib to find your mother's name scratched into my
wrist. and if you hadn't come around i'd have scratched
all the life out. dolphin eyes dolphin eyes the only boy
who who will ever save me has a space cadet sister who
sometimes barely even flies. and has dolphin eyes. the
neighborhood kids watched as you and i built a fortress
of leaves, trees and sky. and when the sunset cast its
colors on across the back yard and the front lawn we made
an effigy of light and were martyrs to the night. and
you're my dolphin eyes.
