Amy Winehouse - When My Eyes Lyrics






Waitress on skates, in trainin'
They dart to call it dreaming
Images present themselves to me
Seeds are ripe for reaping
I continue sleepin'
You're everything you ever wanted to be
And nothin' here is changing
No messy rearranging
Cause every set of ficus stays the same
Sinatra's always singing
And you do all the clinging
And someone else accepts my place
Whatever my imagination throws
So rugged, growing rose
When my eyes do close
When my eyes do close
When they close

Turn and face my ceiling
Deep in all the feeling
Inhibitions turn to dust and fly away
Stop my eyelids flickering
With your petty bickering
But this time I say what I got to say

I hear my girl Dinah's playing
And tree branches start swayin'
Run over and sit right by the roof
And I see the leaves are growing
Little buds are showing
Reach out a hand
And bite into the fruit

Whatever my imagination throws
So rugged, growing rose
When my eyes do close
When my eyes do close

Nothin' such a scrutiny
Voiding purple mutual
You are loving beautifully
And it's fragrant beautifully
Colorful and monochrome
Amy Winehouse alone
Far away from ringing phone at home
I turn to stone, turn to stone
And all the thoughts are static
Yeah, my singing is automatic
And I wish that I could sell it
In my every urge you tell her
Cause I can sense no danger
I am the lone ranger
Through the desert in a yellow caddy
With a black haired blue eyed stranger!

White dress outside drying
I've been fear for flying
I overtake Montgomery in skills, yeah
Never been more daring
Kitten heels I'm wearing
Reality a blow that sometimes kills

When I drop it lyrically
Words evolve generically
And I don't ever need to collapse in tears
And I could curse your timing
Thunderously miming
And I feel young beyond my years

Whatever my imagination throws
So rugged, growing rose
When my eyes do close
When my eyes do close
When they close...

    I can’t even get enough of this song

  13. R.... ....

    "Colorful and monochrome, Amy Winehouse alone" don't know why but this was always my favorite lyric from the song; it has always haunted me... I think it's cuz it's such a whimsical contradiction being juxtaposed with a statement that so starkly sums up the struggle that plagued her throughout her entire life. It somehow almost feels precognitive

  14. G.... D....

    Maaan, Amy was super gifted!!

  15. R.... C....

    Her voice changes so much from type of song to the next!!!!! One more thing to Love about Miss Winehousexoxoxoxoxoxooxoxo!!!!!! R.C.

  16. C.... D....

    Actually, she had no support system .. where was her record company, her manager, her friends and her so called father. .. Sad .. they were all there only to reap in her fame and profits .. sad .... She died of Alcoholism not DRUGS.. no drugs in system .. she was so tiny the alcohol did her in .. sad .. to let her die alone when everyone around her knew what she was going thru.

    C.... D....

    Caroline Dazalla Salaam Remi was trying so hard to get her to stop.

    Waitress on skates, in trainin'
    Cathartically dreaming
    Images present themselves to me
    Seeds are ripe for reapin'

    You're everything you ever wanted to be
    And nothing here is changing
    No messy rearranging

    All of her demos are precious gifts and are such unique ear candy but the fact that this one didn't make the cut for Frank will always kill me

  74. N.... E....

    I dont know who shared this but thank you! You rock!

  75. A.... ....

    No wonder I've been so depressed the last couple
    years. Haven't listened to this since I was pregnant. Even before then it made me feel so light and bubbly. I'm glad I looked this up. Feel like I'm going to end my life lately.

    A.... ....

    Lady, Never Ever Give Up !!
    You just lift yourself up and dust yourself off You'll be ready for the next round !!!

  76. s.... J....

    Beautiful! X

  77. D.... B....

    When she says Rugged" you can her a bop bop like A noise and it makes this song really whole as it could be such a beautiful song i wanna cover it one day.

  78. #.... 1....

    Still listening to this in 2018, rip to the best

    #.... 1....

    And why the fuck wouldn't you be? (Shaking my head). It's music, it's timeless.

  79. l.... p....

    Fuckkkk sooooo much talent.

  80. H.... ....

    3:20 my god. Mind blowing. Her range is incredible and we never got to see all of what her voice could do. I'm so sorry Amy, I love you so much, you're alive and singing in the hearts of us all for the rest of human time.

  81. S.... G....

    that really is amazing

  82. J.... ....

    does anyone know when she wrote that song ?

  83. A.... G....

    this sounds like it's bitrate is negative 144 p

  84. C.... T....

    SOME people did not listen to her at that song. SHE was yelling (singing) much before than,. I miss her.

  85. C.... T....

    perfect. like her talent...

  86. D.... B....

    This is the song ive been looking for!!! Amy,

  87. J.... W....

    You had so much to teach us Amy. Like Jack Bruce, there is no better voice ....ever.

  88. Z.... H....

    I feel a great sense of loss by her passing after seeing her story and what a kind loving funny talented person she was. I guess we can all relate to her story and music in some way or another, may she rest in piece the pain is gone now

  89. j.... ....

    No one else! The only one, love you Amy

  90. m.... ....

    So rugged... Growin rose..." the bridge completely turns the song into a tear-jerking ballad, it's genius, it's gorgeous!

  91. R.... T....

    Scroll down for lyrics- used for a friends funeral- was so perfect

  92. D.... S....

    16 wow!! Im sixteen and I can’t even write a card 😂

  93. F.... R....

    Just came across this song and i am absolutely in love with it. Miss u amy, you were one of a kind. 🙌❤️

  94. M.... A....

    We have to realize what a genius Amy was. No one sings like that. I call it "that" out of deep admiration and respect. Her artistic genius was and is unimaginable. To know her through her art is a march of folly. To imagine oneself sharing her thoughts as she navigates the windy tunnels of abstract expression is well...unimaginable. Unless you're Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix or any of a dozen or so truly creative, "mindbendingly" once-in-a-lifetime angels on earth. Words and music are Amy's two other WMMs (Weapons of Mass Music) and her lyrical skill set is a five-tool player: her ability to "haunt" her words and phrases, the mathematically impossible way she grows then sheds various intonations, definitive music genres, age-spanding voices from virginal, to teenage wonder, to troubled soul, to a woman in love with love, to a woman as alpha-male, to a woman in love alone. Amy gave us so much in such a short time. This song was meant to be on her Mount Rushmore. A mountain that may never be climbed by anyone but Amy. I mean will there ever be another Hendrix? No. There won't be. M
