Jinx

I saw your eyes go dark
with a veil of doubt and fear
I tried to listen to your sadness
but I was too old to hear

I saw your eyes go blind
blotting out the very room
I tried to picture how we lost you
but I was too keen too soon

       shake the jinx
       is what I think
       you should do
       shake your head and blink
       that's what you should do
       shake the jinx
       shake the jinx

I saw your eyes go dry
shutting out the very tears
that might have drained some of your sorrow
but you were no longer here

I saw your eyes go dark
staring at some mystery
that seemed to cancel all your life
god it was too much for me
