Happy eyes

They call me Wee Willie Winkie
I´m tired and blinky
Eyeless and poor
Promise I don´t snore by candle light
I kiss the shimmering cheeks of little children
Having a mother I lost in the street
A skinny jungle child
Wayward and windy
Sinful and pretty
I visit the graves of boys
Dead at war
Shipwreck sailors
Don´t ask, don´t tell
Sweet fragrance of moon has brought me to your room
Where you waft milky magic from that ancient loom
I only have eyes for you
Oh Lord, please tell me you watch me too
My mother I seek
I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
I ain´t no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess
My mother I seek
I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
I ain´t no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess
I only I have eyes for you
Oh Lord, please tell me you watch me too
I´m tired and blinky
Eyeless and poor
Promise I don´t snore by candle light
I kiss the shimmering cheeks of little children
Having a mother I lost in the street
A skinny jungle child
Wayward and windy
Sinful and pretty
I visit the graves of boys
Dead at war
Shipwreck sailors
Don´t ask, don´t tell
Sweet fragrance of moon has brought me to your room
Where you waft milky magic from that ancient loom
I only have eyes for you
Oh Lord, please tell me you watch me too
My mother I seek
I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
I ain´t no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess
My mother I seek
I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
I ain´t no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess
I only I have eyes for you
Oh Lord, please tell me you watch me too
