Cary Brothers – Blue Eyes Lyrics 19 years ago
You don’t have to have “blue”eyes to love this song. The reference to blue eyes could easily be in reference to the underlying sadness in the subject’s eyes. (Haven’t you heard the old song don’t it make my brown eyes blue? Sorry, if that Crystal Gayle reference brings up long repressed memories.) It sounds as if ‘blues eyes” has under gone a serous trauma—catch the symbolism of the pierced hand. (And yes the reference to her stigmata does fit the lyrics.) She fails to see what the singer sees in her. Moreover, he knows that whatever happened in her past has closed her off to the rest of the world. He wants to share her secret so that: “all the lights [will be] on [her] and [she will be] alive.”
