[Verse 1] Salt on your sleeve from the black-water dock Three lantern moons caught in a net of frost I saw you there with a red enamel spoon counting the cracks in the side of the room Your shadow leaned like a tall reed hymn and every small thing started happening again [Thread] One eye for the river One eye for the road One eye for the secret you never told [Chorus] Three Eyes watch me come home Three Eyes carry me whole Three Eyes under the stone Three Eyes I am not alone [Verse 2] Tea in a chipped cup and a knife on bread You spoke in weather I answered in thread Your mother’s courtyard your father’s axe the orange peel curl left after the crack A train went by with a seam of gold and the night stood still in a bowl of coal [Mirror] If I lose my name call it back slow If I lose my way let the embers glow If I break in half keep the other half close I was made of longing and salt on a coat [Chorus] Three Eyes watch me come home Three Eyes carry me whole Three Eyes under the stone Three Eyes I am not alone [Bridge] Midnight on the pier the gulls held their breath I laid down my pride like a shirt in the wet And there you were in a circle of rain three glints in the dark speaking my name [Final Chorus] Three Eyes watch me come home Three Eyes carry me whole Three Eyes thread through the cold Three Eyes I have been found Three Eyes open the door Three Eyes three eyes more [Coda] Salt on your sleeve moon in the net I still hear your vow like a psalm in my chest Three Eyes Three Eyes Three Eyes
