lyrics

LITTLE DAYS

* & I have come to look to you in the eye/in time I'll come to realise why/torn from my sight/flung to the arms of where you're looking
like you'll never cry again .

* oh but I feel we've only run wide/oh & I want you to pierce my eyes,
tell me I'm alive in the only eyes that see/that I am in the only eyes
that ever mattered to me .

* you take the love back/say those were little days, little days of lack - nothing to you/you'll take the love back/speak with a bitter taste/
say those were little days - & it sounds too cruel when you say it .

* tho you may feel safe & sound on yr own/ah you must know
that when you disown/all that seems sour/you give up any hope/
& you forsake all the good & the simple love that'd grow .
