Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The office clock won't sleep

The ink is still and black

Your hand on the ledger

Steadies my shaking back

My wife is in the parlor

With pearls and a practiced smile

I stand by the window

And let my face go mild

[Pre-Chorus]

But when you turn to me

I lose my careful line

My eyes betray the truth

Before my mouth can lie

[Chorus]

Don't look too long

You'll see it there

My eyes tell on me

Don't look too long

I lose my air

My eyes tell on me

[Verse 2]

We count the stock at dusk

Our sleeves brushed at the seam

You say the market's changing

I hear a private dream

The house is full of chatter

And every glass has ears

So I keep my hands at my sides

And swallow down the years

[Pre-Chorus]

But when you lean that close

The room goes thin and pale

I am a locked brass box

You are the hidden nail

[Chorus]

Don't look too long

You'll see it there

My eyes tell on me

Don't look too long

I lose my air

My eyes tell on me

[Bridge]

If she should ask me why

I turn my face away

I'll say it's only shadows

And the ash of the day

But you were never shadows

You were the blaze I hid

And every glance between us

Is the life I never lived

[Final Chorus]

Don't look too long

You'll see it there

My eyes tell on me

Don't look too long

I lose my air

My eyes tell on me
