Subway eyes

from Night Light by Trummer

/

lyrics

10. subway eyes
look at those sad eyes,
you should not wear them,
what do you see anyway?
where will it take you, the subway night-train,
heading for a better day?

don’t turn your head now, I’m not starin’at you,
maybe I just care
for the story behind that beautiful sadness,
and maybe I got some to share

look at those sad eyes,
I cannot change it,
but I can offer you my hand

wiping your thin hair out of your face
you stare at the nothing outside
don’t tell me you feel well in your high heeled shoes
and what’s that make-up trying to hide?

some of us don’t fit in the suits that we’re offered
and kind of forced to wear
so if you gave me a second and looked in my eyes
you might recognise your feeling there

something ’bout loneliness without a reason,
its just the knowledge that we’re both on our own
and if you need some time off sleeping all alone,
I have this big bed at home

look at those sad eyes
you should not wear them
I would change it if I could

Trummer Berne, Switzerland

"Es ist nicht übertrieben zu behaupten, Trummer gehöre zu den ganz wenigen Schweizer Künstlern, die Songs auf einem derart hohen Niveau nicht bloss schreiben und komponieren, sondern auch vortragen können."
Pedro Lenz.
"Trummers Songs berühren, weil sie weder belehren noch beeindrucken wollen, sondern es bei der schlichten Frage belassen: Kennt ihr das auch?“
Laudatio SUISA Stiftungspreis 2011 ... more
