Bill Fay - My Eyes Open

a masterpiece

give me silence/ give me peace/ give me .../ give me strenght/ I feel so helpless like a little child/ from the pain of the city/ there's nowhere to hide/ you can share ... hallow/ as much as your life/ you can raise the (roof)/ but it ain't no use oh, this blood.../ oh, this blood.../ will it ever end/ will it ever end

I hope that somebody will complete the missing words and correct my trying to figure out the lyrics... For Teddiogo2: Thanks for sharing this gem :)

How lovely you are for giving the correct lyrics! I'm always curious about it, if the song is excellent, like this one. Thank you very much :)

now i know why I like the liars x

Nova..

este homem é excelente. excelente!!!

Why have never heard of this genius???I grew up in the 60"s I never heard him before I have some catching up to do

such a great  song !

Watch Bill Fay's interview on You Tube. He is amazing he dedicated the profits from his last album to Medicine sans Frontiere ( sp?) asked to be left alone and just wants to go back to his garden and has no desire to meet with record companies for future albums. Lives simply totally in line with his philosophy of his music. A rare gem.

Give me silence
Give me peace
Give me courage

Give me strength

I feel so helpless
Like a little child
From the pain of the city
There's no where to hide
You can shout and holler
As much as you'd like
You can raise the roof
But it ain't no use.

All this bloodshed,
All this bloodshed
Will it ever end,
Will it ever end.

Sweet star of truth
I turn to you
In all this bloodshed

Sweet star of truth
I turn to you

I'm looking for answers
Where answers can't be found
And there are no answers
Down here on the ground

Sweet star of truth
I turn to you
Sweet star of truth.

A very noble moral man & talented composer & musician whom has been criminally overlooked by the music industry & probably sold short as well. Its a crying shame that he is not making music any longer!! Sad reflection of the order of musical talent when likes of Bill Fay (among other's), largely ignored & the talentless crop today are lauded, but there music is just today's 'froth". Bill Fay music will still be around long after latest trends are gone!!

Ame conocer a este Señor

New to me but gorgeous music , must have been an influence with Mark Everett of the eels , the similarity in delivery and tone are uncanny .

The men ❤

Pure genius.
