His Eyes Won't Leave Me
"His eyes won't leave me"
I hear a voice screaming
"There's nothing that can be done
Because his soul is now gone"
How did this happen
Why did I fall
I tried to stop him
But he followed his man made call
"His eyes won't leave me"
I hear a voice crying
"I tried so hard
But had to go when the siren called"
Across the tracks
Hide in a bar
I went out the front
But entered the backdoor
If him they couldn't help
Then neither could I
That thought doesn't help
Because I still cry
"His eyes won't leave me"
I hear a voice say
"But he went his way
And now nothing will be the same"
Laying on the ground
I can still see him to this day
A pool of his blood
My pants permanently staind
His pupils are small
But start to grow
His life with God I hope he made right
Before his time to go
"His eyes won't leave me"
I hear myself say
Awake in cold sweat
And realize its now day
He chose his own destiny
And that everyone knows
His eys continue to haunt me
But that's the way life goes
