Admirers And Allies

And when it comes it comes at once
And my eyes will not stay shut
For fear that I have never loved
In my steady lack of surprise and wide eyes
For admirers and allies
Ocean sky and iris
Brilliantly blinding, desperate and binding

And when I drive I fight a thought
That I should never stop
For open road will always be
The home where I am
Free from need of wide eyes
For admirers and allies
Ocean sky and iris
Brilliantly blinding, desperate and binding

I am but a telegraph
Dot dash dot dash
I cannot accent my syllables
Or smile with my eyes
I am but a photograph
Click flash click flash
I cannot talk with my hands
Or speak free for the life of me

And on a lonely night I'll find
The reason I'm outside
Is not that I've never been loved
But that I'm terrified of opening my shy eyes
For admirers and allies
Ocean sky and blue eyes
I'm finally finding they're beautifully binding
