The Eye
BRANDI CARLILE · The Firewatcher's Daughter 2015 · Track 02 of 12
Written by Brandi Carlile, Tim Hanseroth
It really breaks my heart To see a dear old friend Go down in the worn old place again
Do you know the sound Of a closing door? Have you heard that sound somewhere before?
Do you wonder if she knows you anymore?
I wrapped your love around me like a chain But I never was afraid that it would die You can dance in a hurricane But only if you're standing in the eye
Where did you learn to walk? Where did you learn to run? Away from everything you love
Did you think the bottle Would ever ease your pain? Did you think that love's a foolish game?
Did you find someone else to take the blame?
I wrapped your love around me like a chain But I never was afraid that it would die You can dance in a hurricane But only if you're standing in the eye You can dance in a hurricane But only if you're standing in the eye
I am a sturdy soul And there ain't no shame In lying down in the bed you've made Can you fight the urge to run for another day?
You might make it further if you learn to stay
I wrapped your love around me like a chain But I never was afraid that it would die You can dance in a hurricane But only if you're standing in the eye You can dance in a hurricane But only if you're standing in the eye
