Naked To The Eye — текст песни (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

(Mary Chapin Carpenter)

Been walking these streets, been deciding what`s true
Been hands in my pockets, coat collar up, thinking `bout you
I`ve been talking to myself, giving fate the third degree
I`ve been eyes on the pavement admitting my part to strangers passing me
And I know it isn`t fair, but nothing`s ever been
Hey when you look at me baby, my god how I feel so good again
I don`t know where I went wrong, but it isn`t right to lie
Hey when you look at me baby, my hearts wide open, naked to the eye

Now some lovers are apart, but they`re never far away
I can see her in your eyes, hear her in your voice and I have to turn away
Oh what covet is to ache, is what aching is to me
For the arms of a man who knows who I am and where I need to be
And if I know what I know, then the lonely can`t pretend
When you look at me baby, my god how I feel so whole again
Is there heaven after all, or just this empty space
That no amount of time, nor comfort in it`s hands can ever help me face
Which is worse is yet to come, your rebuff or my resign
Hey when you look at me baby, I`m helpless as a child, naked to the eye

It`s like a fever and a spell, unbroken by a sigh
Oh when you look at me baby I`m going nowhere, just naked to the eye
Yeah when you look at me baby, everythings there, naked to the eye
Hey when you look at me baby, I haven`t got a prayer, naked to the eye
