Hey Dark Eyed Child I see you weeping. Who gave you those tears in your eyes? People I once loved, she said. Hey Dark Eyed Child I see you sleeping. Who put those dreams in your head? I got them from the clouds and stars, she said. Hey Dark Eyed Child I saw your heart the other day Who shattered that beautiful soul? Man did, she sighed. Hey Dark Eyed Child I see you making your own way Who gave you that light I see you shining with? The sun just up and kissed me, she beamed. Hey Dark Eyed Child I know you tired of hearing me speak but I just had to ask, who made you? Me, she grinned, I did.
