Naked To The Eye

Been walking these streets

Been deciding what's true

Been hands in my pockets

Coat collar up, thinking 'bout you

I've been talking to myself

Giving fate the third degree

I've been eyes on the pavement

Admitting my part to strangers passing me

And I know it isn't fair

But nothing's ever been

Hey when you look at me baby

My God how I feel so good again

I don't know where I went wrong

But it isn't right to lie

Hey when you look at me baby

My heart's wide open, naked to the eye

Now some lovers are apart

But they're never far away

I can see her in your eyes

Hear her in your voice and I have to turn away

Oh what covet is to ache

Is what aching is to me

For the arms of a man who knows who I am

And where I need to be

And if I know what I know

Then the lonely can't pretend

When you look at me baby

My God how I feel so whole again

Is there heaven after all

Or just this empty space

That no amount of time

Nor comfort in it's hands

Can ever help me face

Which is worse is yet to come

Your rebuff or my resign

Hey when you look at me baby

I'm helpless as a child, naked to the eye

It's like a fever and a spell

Unbroken by a sigh

Oh when you look at me baby

I'm going nowhere just naked to the eye

Yeah when you look at me baby

Every thing's there, naked to the eye

Hey when you look at me baby

I haven't got a prayer, naked to the eye
