Peruvian Silver

Official lyrics from the album
Hurricane's Eye
(© St. Cecilia Music)

My eyes are open just come on through
My focused vision will decipher you
Like an ornament carved out in truth
I'm ready to embellish you

I know I'm too vigorous sometimes
But I need the sole position in your mind
Like Peruvian silver around your neck
I hang around my home
And I wish it back
I wish you back

My eyes are open and you're coming through
I hope my focused vision will decipher you
Like an ornament carved out in truth
I put my total trust in you

But how kind are you
How generous do you feel
Do you steal hearts
to wear and tear until you leave
And how proud are you
How dignified must you be
Not to keep hearts and trophies to subsist on
Though my eyes, I try to keep closed
I feel I see this clearer than most

But my eyese were open
and you came right through
I thought my focused vision
would decipher you

I know I'm too whimsical sometimes
But in your eyes i need to shine
Like Peruvian silver in a velvet bag
My value grows between your hands
And like Peruvian silver around your neck
I handed you my pride
Now I need it back
I want it back
Please give it back
