My Mistress' Eyes

[Verse] Her eyes not the sun not even close Lips not coral more like dusk's ghost Snow ain't white on her skin ain't no fun Hair like black wires rough and done [Verse 2] Walks not floatin like ethereal breeze Voice ain't no song just gravelly please Hands not gentle claws that scrape Heart not open sealed with tape [Chorus] Love ain't pretty ain't no rose No fantasy just what's exposed Real love real mess that grows But still it's her my heart chose [Verse 3] No red rubies not a single jewel She's no goddess just beautiful fool No fancy walks just stumbles and falls Loving her breaking down walls [Bridge] Truth ain't perfect ain't no lie Love ain't easy makes you cry I'm not leavin won't say goodbye Living in the now no need to ask why [Verse 4] Mistress of shadows no bright light Our love ain't day purely night Black wires and all she's my sight Holding on with all my might
