bugeye jim

if i get up and let you in

i lose my house and my home again

if i get up and try to come

i get sent back to the land i'm from

back to the land i'm from

the cloud came low and the rain did pour

i hear your hand touch on my door

the rain has quit and the light of the moon

shows you standing in my room

standing in my room

bugeye jim

i can't come

i can twist and turn

but i can't come

i can ache and i can burn

but i can't come

i woke up this morning with an aching brain

hear you tap on my window pane

i look at you with a heavy head

i hear you sit down on my bed

the storm gets worse and my heart feels bare

i feel your fingers comb my hair

feel you comb my hair

the mud it runs and the waters rise

i feel your hotkiss on my eyes

the rain it rained and the world did stir

i sing to you my lovesick word

i sing to you my lovesick word

bugeye jim

i can't come

i can twist and turn

i can't come

i can ache and i can burn

but i can't come

i woke up this morning with an aching brain

hear you tap on my window pane
