The Blue in My Baby's Eyes

On this morning I sit, pondering
The cause of a great melody
And the infinite stars left in my eyes
The cardinal in my heart that never flies
Like the blue in my baby's eyes

I gaze at the antlers above my door
From some deer my father shot when he was bored
And I want to feel his hand rest on my side
Sing the praises of the Shepard's guiding light
Like the blue in my baby's eyes

I could think of my brother I suppose
Or the string of ex-lovers I've imposed
But I've learned to hold my heart under my wing
Like a candle in the dark when I can't see
Feeling every moment when I sing
Like the blue in my baby's eyes
Like the blue in my baby's eyes
Like the blue in my baby's eyes
