Those eyes that answer will be out tonight
Those sparkling devils in the evening air
And all my angels tell me there’s no doubt
those eyes that answer never leave ya
I saw their beauty in the morning light
and by my breakfast I was sold
And all the stories round the grounds were right
but it goes far beyond what has been told
Oh, I’m a man of many words
Most of which not anyone has heard
Oh, but I’m a take this to the lawns
and tell it like I’ve never done before
Those eyes that answer will be out tonight
Those far off faces of the evening air
And all my instincts tell me there’s no doubt
those long gone faces never leave ya
I saw my future in their silhouette;
it looked like shadows in the shine
And I couldn’t tell ya what it means just yet
but it meant so much to me at the time
Oh, bring it on back to me
from the lake house, to the foyer, to the beach
Oh, I’m a man put in his place
for when I looked into their eyes I saw my face
Those eyes that answer will be out tonight
That tear drop mercy of the evening air
And all my numbers tell me there’s no doubt
those eyes that answer never leave ya
The crowds and the crowds and the crowds
and the crowds taken one at a time
Thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands
and thousands all in a... x 4
Those eyes that answer will be out tonight
Those sparkling devils in the evening air
And all my angels tell me there’s no doubt
those eyes that answer never leave ya

Thanks once again to Paul @ pimpod.com for staring me in the direction of greatness. A beautiful record from this Melbourne artist, great songs and one to watch out for in the future. And that voice. WOW! The song quality is, at times, literally staggering. Gavin Hellyer
