Cover My Eyes (Pain and Heaven) Songtext
von Marillion

Cover my eyes
The light falls on her face
Dangerous lines
Dangerous colours and shapes
Ferocious designs
Connected and ready to play
Buttoned up tight
Crimson and Halloween-white

She′s like the girl in the movie when the Spitfire falls
Like the girl in the picture that he couldn't afford
She′s like the girl with the smile in the hospital ward
Like the girl in the novel in the wind on the moors


Pain and heaven
Pain and heaven

The meaning of life
A hair falls out of place
Cover my eyes
Dangerous colours and shapes
And when she moves
Cover my eyes

She like the girl on the TV with the red guitar
Like the girl with the dealer at the end of the bar
She's like the girl with the smile in the dream in the dark
Like the girl overtaking in the open car

Pain and heaven
Pain and heaven
