Cowboy Junkies - Blue Eyed Saviour lyrics

Where'd you go my blue eyed saviour

Where'd you go my darling one

Lying on that field of honour

Not sure what you're waiting on

And she won't let him through the door

Her mind is ticking through those tumbling years

The one's he promised he'd be there for

She says, "hope: the belief that loved ones will never die"

I've never heard such nonsense

I've never heard such lies

What to do with our sputtering engine

What to do with our fading star

Leaving us to wander freely

Trying to find out where we are

And I can't bear to see him go

There is just too much left on the table

There has been too much left alone

She says, "hope: the belief that loved ones will never die"

I've never heard such nonsense

I've never heard such lies

Listen to my wide eyed bundle

Listen to them assail the night

Lost again in their caves of wonder

Leaving us alone outside

And I can barely stand the simple pleasure

Each breath carrying just a little more weight

As I bend to adjust the comforter

I think, "hope: the belief that loved ones will never die"

I've never heard such nonsense

I've never heard such lies
