Mark Heard Look Over Your Shoulder
[Verse 1]
Look over your shoulder and tell me what's coming
Tell me, what is the bogey that you're so afraid of?
The eyes in the back of our heads can persuade
That just for the moment mercy is swayed
Look over your shoulder and tell me what's coming
[Verse 2]
Look into your sad eyes and tell me what you see
What is left of the child who is hiding behind them?
Who longs to be laughing in places of light
Who knows that the morning will follow the night?
Look into your sad eyes and tell me what you see
[Bridge]
If you must be afraid be afraid of yourself
For being afraid of the fear you have felt
You will weather well in a climate of love
[Verse 3 - lines 1-2 are instrumental]
It takes more than your passion and more than your pain
For the rock of forgiveness to melt in the rain
Look over your shoulder and tell me what's coming
[Outro]
Look into your sad eyes and tell me what you see
Look over your shoulder and tell me what's coming
