IN THE TEETH OF THE EYE.

It’s the gossip’s shop but I can’t buying

It’s a tragedy but I can’t crying

In the teeth of the eye I held fast

You were a bitch’s top bitch to the last.

It’s a lesson to learn but who is teaching

There’s a moral somewhere that I ain’t reaching

In the teeth of the eye I held tight

I was played on your heart every night.

Do you have a heart

Did you ever care

You learnt well the art

To fit round to square.

In the teeth of the eye

I could hear someone crying their heart away…

And I find that it’s me.

It’s a game that’s being played that has no meaning

It’s a heart and a soul that have no feeling

In the teeth of the eye someone prayed

Then I realised it was me that said…

Do you have a heart…etc.

Who am I talking to

Is it me or is it you

Can I recover from what I’ve been through

I only wish I knew.
