THOSE EYES

SHE HAD A FACE THAT WAS NOT HARD TO REMEMBER

OR WAS THAT EASY TO FORGET

SHE HAD A TOUCH THAT WAS COLD AS DECEMBER

AND A KISS JUST AS WET

GOD HAD PRESSED HIS THUMBS IN HER FACE

THAT KIND OF DEPRESSION IS HARD TO ERASE

SO TO EVEN A LOCAL IT SHOULD COME AS NO SURPRISE

WHEN THE ICE CAVED IN IT CREATED THOSE EYES

HER HAIR WAS NATURAL SUNSET RED

OR WAS THAT BLEACH BLOND AND DYED

CAUSE MEN ARE LIKE A ROLL AWAY BED

SO BABY PACK UP YOUR BAGS AND SLIDE

SHE HAD EYES LIKE RAZOR BLADES IN SUNLIGHT

LIKE BLACK HOLES THAT LEAVE YOU COLD

BUT SHE FEELS SO GOOD UNDER MOONLIGHT

SHE PUTS A HOWLING IN MY SOUL

CIRCA 1980

FOR TINA
