Beautiful South The Prettiest Eyes Lyrics

Prettiest Eyes Lyrics

(heaton/rotheray)

 Line one is the time

 That you, you first stayed over at mine

 And we drank our first bottle of wine

 And we cried

 

 Line two we're away

 And we both, we both had nowhere to stay

 Well the bus-shelter's always ok

 When you're young

 

 Now you're older and i look at your face

 Every wrinkle is so easy to place

 And i only write them down just in case

 That you die

 

 Let's take a look at these crows feet, just look

 Sitting on the prettiest eyes

 Sixty 25th of decembers

 Fifty-nine 4th of julys

 Not through the age or the failure, children

 Not through the hate or despise

 Take a good look at these crows feet

 Sitting on the prettiest eyes

 

 Line three i forget

 But i think, i think it was our first ever bet

 And the horse we backed was short of a leg

 Never mind

 

 Line four in a park

 And the things, the things that people do in the dark

 I could hear the faintest beat of your heart

 Then we did

 

 Now you're older and i look at your face

 Every wrinkle is so easy to place

 And i only write them down just in case

 You should die

 

 Lets take a look at these crows feet, just look

 Sitting on the prettiest eyes

 Sixty 25th of decembers

 Fifty-nine 4th of julys

 You can't have too many good times, children

 You can't have too many lines

 Take a good look at these crows feet

 Sitting on the prettiest eyes

 

 Well my eyes look like a map of the town

 And my teeth are either yellow or they're brown

 But you'll never hear the crack of a frown

 When you are here

 You'll never hear the crack

 Of a frown
