Holy Blue Eyes

from Full Of Gentle by Katie Dill

/

lyrics

last week one night when i was not home,
for i worked late that night, alone,
my darling wife shot our only son,
she shot herself, now they are both gone.

my trouble's wide and my trouble is high,
that babe, he had such holy blue eyes,
no color i had ever seen,
my ma's were brown and my sister's were green.

my wife, her eyes were awfully dark,
i know not what color my father's are,
he left my ma when we were just kids,
i know not where that unholy man is.

well i will live for thirty years more,
to finally die on a bar room floor,
having drunk the days and dreamt the nights
of my darlin' wife and that little boy's eyes.
