Naked To the Eye Written by - Mary Chapin Carpenter From - A Place In the World Been walkin' these streets Been deciding what's true Been hands in my pockets Coat collar up Thinkin' 'bout you I've been talkin' to myself Givin' fate the third degree Been eyes on the pavement Admittin' my part to strangers passin' me And I know it isn't fair But nothing's ever been Hey, when you look at me, babe 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, babe My heart's 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 achin' 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 Ooh...when you look at me, babe My God, how I feel so whole again Is there Heaven after all Or just this empty space That no amount of time No comfort in its hands Can ever help me face Which is worse is yet to come Your rebuff or my resign Hey, when you look at me, babe 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, babe I'm goin' nowhere Just naked to the eye Yeah, when you look at me, babe Everything's there Naked to the eye Hey, when you look at me, babe I haven't got a prayer Naked to the eye ©Why Walk Music |
