Jesse Your Eyes

A mystical encounter at a campground that connects to loss and eternal life.

Verse 1

I met them at a campground

A girl in a bikini

And a young guy

They were a little drunk

And they were longing to get high

They both shouted 'we sell meat'

But when they saw me stumbling

They came down to help me

When they saw me stumble on the beach

Verse 2

They asked me to play my guitar

So I jumped on the kitchen table

And played them a tune

The girl ran around in circles and ran off

But the boy photographed me on his cell phone

Verse 3

He said, 'my mom was a writer, she played guitar

And sang real sweet and high. She wrote a song

For me called, Jesse Your Eyes are Like the Sky.'

Well I jumped down from the picnic table

And asked him

Where is your mom now?

And he said, 'you are her angel,

She was in an accident.'

Chorus

And I said, Jesse, your eyes are like the sky

And you're right Jesse, we live forever

We never die

Outro

How well I remember that day

We all jumped in and went swimming

We were a little tanked and for a minute there

I thought we'd all be swept away
