My eyes held the ceiling up
Oh they held it up and tight
My eyes, watery, ‘nuf to fill a cup
My eyes didnt waver all night
They played each memory, cut deep
On that wall, in color, bright and red
They gave me courage not to weep
But they kept me on this bed
They told me stories, I wish weren’t true
Of trust breaking, little hearts too
My eyes, they never lied, never lied to me
And yet they sure fooled me, I knew
I kept complaining, my eyes ran dry
The first rays of dawn hit the wall, as one
My will to live, and my need to cry
All vanished, like dewdrops in the sun
My eyes, they held the ceiling up, they did
Never tired, and yet they came up short
I wish I could find the tears I hid
I’ll try again tonight, ’tis the treasure I sought
