Ink Pot Eyes
Nick Garrie Lyrics

I watched a drunk come stumbling down the street
I saw an intoxicated person wander aimlessly down the road.

And he was calling out your name to all he chanced to meet
He was shouting your name at everyone he encountered.

And I heard a lady try to immitate you
I witnessed a woman attempt to replicate your mannerisms.

And another try to break you
I observed another person trying to upset or harm you.

But they all gave up and prayed to you
However, they were all unsuccessful and eventually turned to pray to you.

And may I introduce you to the stars
I'd like to present you to the constellations above.

And fields where you can lose yourself in all the flowers
Also, open spaces where you can be enveloped by the splendor of the blossoms.

You know a man stands small against the sky
A man seems unimportant in contrast with the vast, incomprehensible sky.

But if his dreams are turned to dust
However, if a person’s aspirations are shattered beyond repair,

Then he will surely die
they will undoubtedly perish.

Ink pot eyes
All-encompassing and inquisitive eyes

Ink pot eyes
Piercing and penetrating gaze

Oh oh oh them deep blue skies
Oh, the captivating blue heavens above.

And once I met a man who said he'd loved you
At some point, I met an individual who professed to have loved you.

And tried to keep you
That person attempted to hold onto you.

But you'd kept him and gone away
Yet you had already left, taking him with you

And now he says he's trying hard to find you
Now, that person claims to be actively searching for you.

And he'll be kind to you
Also, he promises to be caring and compassionate when he eventually locates you.

But he doesn't know you
However, he is unaware of what you are actually like.

Oh no he'll never know you
Oh no, he will never truly know you.
