Sleep In Your Eye

Sleep in your eye you’ve been up all night

How you going to make it till morning light

Take all you can from the buck and the gin

You don’t need to know where the bottle’s been

Draw a line in the sand walk like a man

You’re heading for the big-time again

No more dragging your bones against the wind

You’ll be shooting like an arrow straight as a pin

Time you were only waiting for time

Love you could never see it flying right straight past you

Time you were only waiting for time

Love you were always a beat behind

Waiting for your number

Days go by faster than light

Temperature’s rising the sun’s too bright

And so flies the crow by your window side

Just let it go past you’ll be alright

Keep digging in land where treasure’s been

Till dirt on your hands turns gold again

Take all you can from the buck and the gin

You’ll be shooting like an arrow straight as pin

Time you were only waiting for time

Love you could never see it flying right straight past you

Time you were only waiting for time

Love you were always a beat behind

Waiting for your number

You were only waiting for the stars to align in a little way

To light up where you are and to shake away the grey

Sleep in your eye
