Eyes Wide Open - Alex Mallett - Banjo - Video
PUBLISHED:  Aug 27, 2013
DESCRIPTION:
I wrote this song when I was losing a bit of sleep.

Lyrics:
Tired but I'm wide awake mind spinning like a big city laudromat
Thinking of all the things I wanna do and coulda done
A thousand cars on jagged streets each with four wheels and a different mind
And I got naked toes on green green grass

Do you ever wish you could read your life like a book?
Do you ever wanna read your story page by page?
I wish that I could read ahead to see what I kept and what I left behind.
To see what really makes a man and what he can find in unfamiliar places in unfamiliar places

Eyes Wide Open Eyes wide open when they should be shut

Can't say that I got no regrets. Can't say I've never cried.
When blue I pain golden grass on grey grey sky
A son'g always a friend to me behind these tired eyes
A friend to me in silence and in sound
I'll always set a prayer and see a little angel there

Eyes Wide Open Eyes wide open when they should be shut

If you could see the face of god would you turn and look away?
Like starting at the sun would you sneeze and fold in two?
Do you think he'd still be smiling with all his scars and his blinded eyes?
Do you think he still sings halelulia?

alleluia! Do you think he still sings alleluia?
