lyrics

I fell for the light behind your eyes,
I fell for the light behind your,
eye-ee-eyes, eye-ee-eyes.

Well it's peaches in the summertime
and apples in the fall,
if I can have you some of the time
I won't complain at all.

I wish I had a needle and thread
as fine as I can sew,
I'd sew your name to the heart on my sleeve,
cause down the road I go,
down the road I always go.

I fell for the light behind your eyes,
I fell for the light behind your,
eye-ee-eyes, eye-ee-eyes.

Well you're going where you're going where
you've never been before,
but when you coming running back to town
come a knocking on my door.

You're going where you're going where
the chilly winds don't blow,
but stay a little longer
I'll find you a warmer coat.

I fell for the light behind your eyes,
I fell for the light behind your,
eye-ee-eyes, eye-ee-eyes.

I'll take you to the hillside where
the wild red roses grow,
I'll play this song til the night grow old
if you whistle all the notes.

Neither of us were ever that good
at walking down the line besides,
I don't see you on the ground that much
I always see you flying.

I fell for the light behind your eyes,
I fell for the light behind your,
eye-ee-eyes, eye-ee-eyes.

And if I'm by the wayside
with a nickel or a dime,
all I got do is think of you
and I'll be feeling fine.

The sweet sunny south
is where I first saw the light,
but hanging round with you
is when I learned to love the night,
when I learned to love the night.

I fell for the light behind your eyes,
I fell for the light behind your,
eye-ee-eyes, eye-ee-eyes.

Cape Disappointment - EP
by Cape Disappointment

Thoughtfully produced and honestly sung, this is some of Cape Disappointment's best work. Listen for clear cello-like vocals and careful articulation of feeling - great pacific northwestern folk! Reid Farnsworth
