Lyrics
called an old friend who’d been through it before
she reminded me life is a game, not a chore
rearrange the chess pieces, and turn on the light
do not let this queen of yours out of our sight
be a model, not a martyr she said to me
it’s the best you can be for your baby
and i smiled through my teeth
and agreed with this theme
til i choked on all my hypocrisy
timmy blue eyes
i want to give you my whole world
timmy blue eyes
now am a mother
still feel like a girl
will i vow to you promises i cannot keep
i will not be wolf, nor the drowsiest sheep
i’m the human that you made you, that will never change
the body is crazy, the mind’s just as strange
i will cradle you fondly and tell you white lies
like i don’t mind all of the time i compromised
it’s the gift of the presence, the present is you
a birthday with blemishes, so perfect and new
timmy blue eyes
i want to give you my whole world
timmy blue eyes
now am a mother
still feel like a girl
will i ever sleep again?
and if i do
will i dream
dream of you
timmy blue eyes
