lyrics

Empress eyes
I’ve been alone and waiting for your touch, all this time
Before the night slips out of way and into melodies
That hold you tight
Through the night, I lie
Beneath the shadow of an open door
In far side dreams
When you wake you’ll find
Another vision of me softly by your side
I won’t let go

And don’t, don’t you stand by me? Oh
And won’t, won’t you stand by me? Oh

Empress eyes
What have you got left for me tonight
The words we shared were mostly shared in spite
And never wrong or right
But empress eyes you’re right

Before you go, just let me sing you from your heavy laden soul
It won’t be long
but the room is packed, the streets you used to love are paved with broken glass
And all will see

The remanence of the clothes
The lights changing their glow
The emptiness you hold
Is shining with your gold

Empress eyes
What have you got left for me tonight
The words we shared were mostly shared in spite
And never wrong or right
But empress eyes you’re right
Oh empress eyes
Why have you called in for me tonight
The words we shared were mostly shared in spite
And never wrong or right
but empress eyes you’re right
Empress eyes, empress eyes you’re mine
