Quiet Eyes

                                  Tony, my head is on a pillow

Clock strikes, it's the count of four

Four hours of tossin' and turnin'

In a big brass bed



I've tried all the tricks in the book now

But I just can't sleep no more

Tony, what's happenin' to me

I'm tired and I'm cold

Somehow I'm imagining things

Movin' in the shadow

And my face is a painting crying

In the heat of the sun



Let the world outside pay its dues

I'll never know why, no matter how high

It's a sign that's been sealed and delivered

Tony, it's lookin' into your

Quiet eyes, silent tears

Silent as the night you deserted me

Quiet eyes, silent tears

Silence, and the night lasted seven years



Meanwhile I'm counting all the hours

And I've counted all the days

On the pages of a calendar

And I threw it all away

Tony, I'm tryin' to make some sense, babe

I'm always tryin' to get through to you

Maybe you're the last one to notice

How much I've been lovin' you



Let the world outside pay its dues

I'll never know why, no matter how high

It's a sign that's been sealed and delivered

Tony, it's lookin' into your

Quiet eyes, silent tears

Silent as the night you deserted me

Quiet eyes, silent tears

Silent as the night you deserted me

Quiet eyes, silent tears

Silence, and the night lasted seven years
