Marianne Allison: Listen to the Music

Fragile Eyes

(Marianne Allison)
Hold on the feelings come. Whisper this simple song,
Slipping into this sleep, pray for your soul to keep
Dreaming one simple dream
Keeping you safe and warm and
Bringing you back again
These thoughts wont hold you in
They always bring you back again

Fragile eyes born to die
Tonight you fall to pieces
Fragile eyes nowhere lies
Tonight you fall to pieces

Tonight won’t let you go
Tonight is holding you close
Tonight, don’t let your fragile eyes show
Don’t let them show

Whisper into the night. You can’t put up a fight.
Hold on. Don’t let it show. Don’t even let ‘em know
You would let go
If you could you know you would you know
You have no self-control
You can’t close your eyes
In the dead of night

Fragile eyes born to die
Tonight you fall to pieces
Fragile eyes nowhere lies
Tonight you fall to pieces




Fragile eyes born to die
Tonight you fall to pieces
Fragile eyes nowhere lies
Tonight you fall to pieces
Fragile eyes born to die
Tonight you fall to pieces
Fragile eyes nowhere lies
Tonight you fall to pieces

Tonight won’t let you go
Tonight is holding you close
Tonight don’t let your fragile eyes show
Don’t let them show
Don’t let them show
Don’t let them show
Don’t let them show
