Blue Eyed Jesus

[Verse]
Please blue eyed Jesus she said to me
In the shadow of a cedar tree
Her hands were trembling her voice was thin
As if the wind might carry her sin
[Chorus]
Blue eyed Jesus can you hear her cry
The stars above they never lie
If prayers are whispers on the breeze
Blue eyed Jesus answer please
[Verse 2]
The dirt was dry cracked like a map
Her story tangled in her lap
She spoke of love she spoke of shame
And how the fire forgot her name
[Prechorus]
But the moon stayed still the night too black
And the road ahead won’t take her back
[Chorus]
Blue eyed Jesus can you hear her cry
The stars above they never lie
If prayers are whispers on the breeze
Blue eyed Jesus answer please
[Bridge]
Is it mercy she seeks or a place to hide
From the storms she’s kept bottled inside
Or is she chasing a dream long dead
A memory burned into her head

folk-inspired, haunting, acoustic with fingerpicked guitar and ethereal harmonies
