Hiss Golden Messenger - Blackeyed Boy lyrics

Artist: Hiss Golden Messenger

album: Heart Like a Levee (Deluxe Version)


Three

Three angels in the sky this mornin'

Well, I could see 'em clear as day

Yes, babe, I was waitin' on that old miracle

Or maybe I'm just waitin' on the rain

They're sayin' six or seven inches now

Yeah, and we heard that one before

Back then, nobody paid attention
And the river came knockin'
At the door
At the door
Hey, Mama
I been long
At the door
At the door
Mama it's your black-eyed boy

Nobody said it was easy

But sometimes I like my memory to lie

I'll see sunlight on the battlefields
And the view from the cherry painted line

Oh, I remember the long dark hallways

Following the snake all the way
And I'm ten years old and the band started playin'
Like oh, my God
Oh, my God
Oh, my God
Oh, my God
I been long
At the door
At the door
Mama it's your black-eyed boy

I'm leavin' home
With a cheap new jacket
And a secret no one knows
If I tell it to you
I gotta tell myself too

And if your dreams should ever chase you down

And force you to confront 'em

Yes, babe, there ain't no master plan
It's gonna come knockin'
At your door
At your door
Hey, Mama
I been long
At your door
At your door
Mama it's your black-eyed boy
