4 sisters- 8 EYES DIE
Tiptoes, softly, gently steering
he towards me, and me I'm fearing
thief of childhood ever nearing
INNOCENCE OF 8 EYES DIE
I close my eyes and pray for morning
Futile hope is heavenly soaring
Take flight my prayer to God most high-STILL
INNOCENCE OF 8 EYES DIE
A fathers duty is - he whispers
A promise to love all 4 sisters
This one promise he has kept - all other spoken words inept
HYPOCRISY shines in his eyes
HIS gift of love in 8 EYES DIE
His gift of love thru life I carry
trust in man I am too leary
Death of soul I grow so weary
In carnal knowledge 8 EYES DIE
with years gone by - he'll make amends
by asking such - he does offend
would I go to death as my revenge
FOR THE INNOCENCE OF 8 EYES DIE
As father sits - morosely crying
joy fills my soul - there is no denying
till thru opaque charade he's lying
Forever more he still would take
TAKE THE INNOCENCE OF 8 EYES - WHY
