Janis Ian Restless Eyes Lyrics

Restless Eyes Lyrics

We have a big house

With lots of gardens

And children playing

In the school next store

These aren't the best times

These aren't the worst times

But these are my times

I never asked for more



There's always sunshine

And shiny weather

I like it just fine

He likes it better

And I don't know the name

of the people right next door

But I can't complain

He could have had so much more



  And he isn't you

  And I'll never be

  The one that he left behind

  Each time we look in the mirror

  I see those restless eyes

  When  he finds

  That I'm not the one he wanted

  And he's not who I dreamed

  Oh those restless eyes

  And restless me

 

And when the warm winds

That surround me

Come raining down me

On warm summer nights

He never asks me 

To surrender

And I'll remember that

When I want to leave

 

And if my heart beats

A touch too fast

And if my eyes blink

He doesn't ask

He lets us both pretend

It's the wind up from the shore

And I love him for it then

Like I never did before



  [CHORUS
