Naked To The Eye Lyrics

Mary Chapin Carpenter

Been walking these streets Been deciding what's true Been hands in my pockets Coat collar up, thinking 'bout you
I've been talking to myself Giving fate the third degree I've been eyes on the pavement Admitting my part to strangers passing me
And I know it isn't fair But nothing's ever been Hey when you look at me baby My God how I feel so good again
I don't know where I went wrong But it isn't right to lie Hey when you look at me baby My heart's wide open, naked to the eye
Now some lovers are apart But they're never far away I can see her in your eyes Hear her in your voice and I have to turn away
Oh what covet is to ache Is what aching is to me For the arms of a man who knows who I am And where I need to be
And if I know what I know Then the lonely can't pretend When you look at me baby My God how I feel so whole again
Is there heaven after all Or just this empty space That no amount of time Nor comfort in it's hands Can ever help me face
Which is worse is yet to come Your rebuff or my resign Hey when you look at me baby I'm helpless as a child, naked to the eye
It's like a fever and a spell Unbroken by a sigh Oh when you look at me baby I'm going nowhere just naked to the eye
Yeah when you look at me baby Every thing's there, naked to the eye Hey when you look at me baby I haven't got a prayer, naked to the eye
