Bernie Christie - Opal Eyes Lyrics

In this world
The puppets are changing
But by the time the players are staged
There are words I can't say
Caught up in the strangeness
Of a lust
That's driven and dangerous
Step away, step away

I can feel
That there'd be something between us
But by the time the final curtain appears
There are lines that aren't clear
Caught up in the queerness
Of a lust
That's forbidden and fearless
Step away from here
Step away from here

Opal eyes
Opal eyes you have to go
Don't stay here opal eyes
Or I'll fall
I'll fall

In this world
The puppets are changing
But by the time the players are staged
There are words I can't say

What if we just rip the script
Write in a sudden shift of consequence
Ditch the make-up and the costume change
It wouldn't be Shakespeare but it would be real
And you'd feel it in the sea air
In the surf that washes through our hair
In the time that we spend getting there
But that would depend on the decision you make
While I'm standing here

So opal eyes
Opal eyes
You have to go
Don't stay here opal eyes
Before I fall, before I fall
Opal eyes
Opal eyes you have to go
Don't stay here opal eyes
If you aren't brave enough to take the fall
If you aren't brave enough to fall at all
