Eyes and Oceans

from Absurdity Under by Tim Koehn

/

lyrics

I can see your eyes straight into me
illumining this place like moon beams
that glow on the ocean.

If I could only be here to see
your eyes that shine like oceans
as deep as your wounds,
wide as your bleeding brow.

Your eyes on me is my direst need.
Your ocean laps at me;
I'll have to take your water at my feet.

If I could only see with your eyes
into the hearts of people who are standing beside
your sensuous ocean,

Everyone would run into this:
your eyes that contain oceans
as deep as your wounds
wide as your bleeding brow.

Your eyes on me is my direst need.
Your ocean laps at me;
I'll have to take your water at my feet.

Save us from our fashions, God--
somebody show me to the door.
Save us from our fashions, God--
I want to get off of this floor.
I'll take a crown of passion, God,
just as your head was pierced by thorns.
Crown me with compassion, God,
just as your head was pierced by thorns.

(I want to see your eyes and feel their penetration,
then comes assimilation single cells at a time.)
