lyrics

BLACK EYED LUCY

BLACK EYED LUCY
SINGING BALLADS OF FRIENDS AND FOE
HOW YOU WATCH THEM ALL COME AND GO
FROM YOUR SERPENTINE HALLWAYS
THAT ECHO AROUND YOU

BLACK EYED LUCY
SKETCHING MIRRORS AND SMOKE AGAIN
AND YOU’RE CHOKING ON SOMETHING
YOU’RE KEEPING WELL HIDDEN

BLACK EYED LUCY
YOUR ORIXAS ARE CALLING YOUR NAME
AND YOU’RE LOST IN A FIRE
YOU CAN NO LONGER FRAME

DAMN YOUR BLACK EYES
THEY DON’T SEE WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU

BLACK EYED LUCY
SKETCHING PORTRAITS OF FRIENDS AND FOE
FROM YOUR TURPENTINE HALLWAYS
THAT ECHO AROUND YOU

BLACK EYED LUCY
SKETCHING MIRRORS AND SMOKE AGAIN
AND YOU’RE CHOKING ON SOMETHING
YOU’RE KEEPING WELL HIDDEN

BLACK EYED
YOUR ORIXAS ARE CALLING YOUR NAME
AND YOU’RE LOST IN A FIRE
THAT YOU CAN’T FRAME

DAMN YOUR BLACK EYES
THEY DON ‘T SEE WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU

AHH AHH AHH AHH

BLACK EYED LUCY
RESTLESS FINGERS ON HANDS OF SNOW
AND YOUR FAR AWAY LOOK
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO COME AND GO

BLACK EYED LUCY
NOW THEY’VE SEEN HOW A WOLF CAN CRY
AND YOUR LOAD IS SO HEAVY
THEY WON’T EVEN BEND TO TRY
BLACK EYED LUCY
YOUR ORIXAS ARE CALLING YOUR NAME
AND YOU’RE LOST IN A FIRE
YOU CAN NO LONGER FRAME

DAMN YOUR BLACK EYES
THEY DON’T SEE WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU

BLACK EYED LUCY
RESTLESS FINGERS ON HANDS OF SNOW
AND YOUR FAR AWAY LOOK
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO COME AND GO
AND THAT FAR AWAY LOOK
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO COME AND GO
THEY’RE SO FAR AWAY

about

Tammy Payne Bristol, UK

Tammy Payne has the lyrical bent of song writers like Rufus and Martha Wainwright etched in to a haunting zone of chill out lounge. A soul singer with a melancholic reserve, bringing ghosts of the blues like a modern day Peggy Lee.
