Eye for Ivy Lyrics

You saved my life
I sometimes read about your books
They're fine, so full of intrigue
So full of blood between the lines

You come and go
The button sewn upon your chest
Reminds us of the garden
The smell of petals in the night

You've got an eye for Ivy
She's got an eye for you
You've always been companions
But things can go well

In time you'll see
We'll plant a flower
And it'll grow up tall
To see the sunlight
As it breaks through
The early morning clouds

Be honest now
Can you see far enough
Across the hills
To save you walking
For hours and hours
To find the saddest boy

You've got to see me silenced
By the prettiest of sights
Underneath the hedgerows
Through quiet village nights

A gentle smile's the answer
To all the things you've done
The summer sun's so perfect
For a boy and girl on the run
