Your Darkest Eyes - Rocky Votolato

That smoke, it moves just like sweet velvet

It lures me in till I’m drinking to kill the pain

Trying to stay out of a fight but the liquor, it won’t let me

The only thing it’s killing now is me

Your darkest eyes and pale skin are always on me

Black fingernail polish is chipping off again

On my mind just like a death threat or maybe death wish

Kill me anytime I’m ready for it

No one else was ever half this beautiful

No two hearts were ever half what ours was whole, whole

Desperate like the rain on your midnight window sill

You said I love you and I know that’s what you meant

I know that’s what you meant

There’s a Holy Grail of a simple life led somewhere

In the blankets of trees between you and Tennessee

St. Peter’s in a river running out to Homer’s sea

Where the leaves can break your heart

And the waves might wash me clean

No one else was ever half this beautiful

No two hearts were ever half what ours was whole, whole

Desperate like the rain on your midnight window sill

You said I love you and I know that’s what you meant

Hey, I know that’s what you meant
