Mary Chapin Carpenter - Naked To The Eye Lyrics

Been walking these streets, been deciding what's true

Been hands in my pockets, coat collar up, thinking 'bout you

I've been talking to myself, giving fate the third degree

I've been eyes on the pavement admitting my part to strangers passing me

And I know it isn't fair, but nothing's ever been

Hey when you look at me baby, my god how I feel so good again

I don't know where I went wrong, but it isn't right to lie

Hey when you look at me baby, my hearts wide open, naked to the eye

Now some lovers are apart, but they're never far away

I can see her in your eyes, hear her in your voice and I have to turn away

Oh what covet is to ache, is what aching is to me

For the arms of a man who knows who I am and where I need to be

And if I know what I know, then the lonely can't pretend

When you look at me baby, my god how I feel so whole again

Is there heaven after all, or just this empty space

That no amount of time, nor comfort in it's hands can ever help me face

Which is worse is yet to come, your rebuff or my resign

Hey when you look at me baby, I'm helpless as a child, naked to the eye

It's like a fever and a spell, unbroken by a sigh

Oh when you look at me baby I'm going nowhere, just naked to the eye

Yeah when you look at me baby, everythings there, naked to the eye

Hey when you look at me baby, I haven't got a prayer, naked to the eye
