Paul E Cox - Baby's Blue Eyes Lyrics

I stumbled out of a pawn shop with this guitar in my hand
It's kinda old with tarnished gold but it's got soul the man said
Plays a sweet little lullaby and reminds me of your eyes
The way you used to sing to me and then you'd tell me lies

The day you up and left me caught me by surprise
You left me standing there alone as you turned to say goodbye
Walked back down that empty street as the rain fell from the sky
I knew that was the last time I'd see my Baby's Blue Eyes

I have walked these city streets and tied them end to end
Watching as the people pass me by

It gets cold out in the alley just before the break of dawn
The hunger down in my belly I got to feed it till it's gone
Two little pieces of day old bread and last nights bottle of wine
I'm calling out to the angels on Hollywood and vine
