Doobie 'Doghouse' Wilson - Thoughtful Eyes Lyrics

You've been hiding some thoughtful eyes
I can see them from the back
There's no need to philosophize
It ain't nothin' that we lack
It ain't nothin' that we lack
It ain't nothin' that we lack

In my dreams I run with shackled feet
And looking to the ground
You smile at me holding the key
That you have just found, and say
If you can't stay back with me
Then I will have to set you free

Sometimes alone a cold, wet wind across my face
Will warm my soul more than a glowing fireplace
You think the coals are cold and dead
And they're about to burn my feet

You worked so hard to get to where you are
So hard to let go what you got
For an answer, hey, don't look far
Shall we keep our love and rot
Shall we keep our love and rot
Shall we keep our love and rot

New love was a fresh and fragrant blossom in the spring
Old love was a stale response that habit often brings
Lord have mercy, it's harder to forget
Than a pack a day smoke of cigarettes
