WILD EYES

 

 

If I had a dollar to me name I would be king. And if I had a lover, I wouldn’t need anything

 

If I had a friend, we would have these conversations. And your wild eyes, they would open

 

Wild eyes, Ooh, wild eyes, you’re golden

 

 

And if I had a home, I would invite you in. And if I had a table, yeah, you know we’d break some bread

 

If I had a dream to go out on my own, I’d take you with me to see those wild eyes

 

Wild eyes, Ooh, wild eyes, you’re golden . . .

 

 

I know I said I’d meet you down the road but I never found the right way to go

 

And if by chance we ever get to meet again I would say, yeah I would say

 

Wild eyes, you never should have gone

 

Wild eyes, I miss you the most

 

Wild eyes, Ooh, wild eyes, you’re golden . . .

 

 

Wild eyes, you never should have gone

 

Wild eyes, I miss you the most

 

I wrote this long paragraph about losing my friend Sunday, but I think I want to keep it vague. This song is about losing a friend, an important friend, a best friend. There’s a song on Brian Eno’s “Apollo” that sounds like what I think Heaven is going to sound like. At the end of this song, I wanted to add some sort of heavenly, musical refrain. I don’t know if I accomplished that, but that’s kinda the idea.
