Story Behind The Song

Mortal eyes ...fantasize ...We spread our wings and try to fly Crashing on the ground ...Holding on ...Far beyond ...to the world that we can't see

Lyrics

Mortal Eyes Lyrics: Keith Michael Field - KMF Music
Verse

I'm walking the line ...Out of my mind
Still trying to find ...Your hand in mine
It's taken it's time ...The reasons to find ... Why you ain't here with me

I'm taking a puff ...of my holy smoke
Looking for a light ...at the end of my rope
Hard to laugh ...when I lost my smile ...a while back ... across the track

Verse B

You opened up a bigger part of me ... I hadn't seen that door
It made it hard to come back down to where I've been before

Chorus

Angels spread their wings and fly ...Lightning in the Dark ...High above the sound

Living a lie ...Trying to pretend ...Someone I love ...Calls me a friend
Spending my time ...thinking I'm not good enough ...to be in love with you

X Section

Mortal eyes ...fantasize ...We spread our wings and try to fly
Crashing on the ground ...Holding on ...Far beyond ...to the world that we can't see

Verse

I'm keeping it warm ...look in your eyes ...deep in my heart what a surprise ...there's nothing higher in my life than you

What can I do? ...When did it start? ...I'm black and blue ...When we're apart
Beaten up myself all night and day ...Without you
......
Buckle up ...knuckle down ...don't mess it up ...don't fool around
Fury can't hide ...More than I could see ...The world gave up on me

And I came up for air ...and you were waiting there
More and more the answers to my prayers ...Burning inside

I thought I was tough ... You played kind of rough ...Wasn't enough
You called my bluff ...We cried like we were pussies just kids' stuff

I'm out of my mind ...still trying to find ...the keys that open the part of me
I can't describe ...It's hard to see
......
......
More than I'd known, something had grown
More and more I'm struck ...It seems I'm in luck

Hard to recognize ...What you thought was wise
Stupid all the time ...You closed your eyes and grinned anyways

I'm taking the time ...Looking inside
Better to find out ...Who we are ...before we're gone
......
Katty came back home ... trip was not alone ... tank was there with me

Mom was over where ... she was taking care of Toto and Luke
...And John Prine and Joe Cocker and all the rest ...they knew she was the best
