"My Right Eye" lyrics - LAURIE ANDERSON

LAURIE ANDERSON
"My Right Eye"

Concentration. Empty your mind.
Let the rest of the world go by.
Hold your breath. Hold your breath. Close your eyes.

Rocks and stones. Broken bones.
Everything eventually comes crawling home.
In the night. In the night.

Please forgive me if I fall short of your mark.
But there are things still buried in my heart, pause
Heart pause. Heart pause. Then vanish. Then vanish.

Unstoppable time. All the things you left behind.
In the night. In the night.
Concentration. Empty your mind.
Let the rest of the world go by.

And when the tears fall from both my eyes
They fall from my right eye because I love you
And they fall from my left eye 'cause I cannot bear you.

Rocks and stones. Broken bones.
Everything eventually comes crawling home.
In the night. In the night.

Comes crawling. In the night. Comes crawling. In the night.
Comes crawling home. In the night. In the night.
