Bourbon Eyes by Under Morrigans Spell
Bourbon Eyes
[Verse 1]
In the corner of the room, by the neon light,
She sways like smoke in the deepening night.
Every shadow bends to the curve of her smile,
Bourbon eyes, yeah, they linger a while.
Her laugh is a saxophone, low and sweet,
A rhythm that makes your heart skip a beat.
She doesn’t look at you, but somehow she knows,
The secrets you carry, the ones no one shows.
[Chorus]
Bourbon eyes, melting the dark away,
Soft as the night, sharp as the day.
Bourbon eyes, pulling me in like a tide,
A storm I can’t fight, a place to hide.
[Verse 2]
Smoke curls up from her cigarette flame,
Dancing like a lover who knows no name.
The piano hums, and the bass walks slow,
But it’s her rhythm that steals the show.
Every word she whispers is a spell,
Every glance a story I can’t tell.
Her bourbon eyes burn through the haze,
Turn simple nights into smoky malaise.
[Bridge – Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 3]
She’s trouble wrapped in velvet and gold,
A story that’s whispered, never fully told.
You want to know her, but you know you can’t,
She’s the kind of soul that leaves you enchanted.
Waitresses pass, carrying trays of dreams,
But she’s lost in her world, or so it seems.
And you wonder if you’ll ever get close,
Or if she’s a ghost haunting her own prose.
[Chorus]
Bourbon eyes, melting the dark away,
Soft as the night, sharp as the day.
Bourbon eyes, pulling me in like a tide,
A storm I can’t fight, a place to hide.
[Bridge 2 – Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Maybe tomorrow she’ll be gone with the sun,
Leaving traces of jazz where hearts come undone.
But tonight she’s here, and the bar’s alive,
And bourbon eyes keep the shadows in drive.
No one forgets her, no one can try,
She’s the note that lingers long after goodbye.
The smoke and the lights and the soft refrain,
All whisper her name again and again.
[Final Chorus / Outro]
Bourbon eyes, melting the dark away,
Soft as the night, sharp as the day.
Bourbon eyes, pulling me in like a tide,
A storm I can’t fight, a place to hide.
Bourbon eyes, oh, bourbon eyes,
A story I’ll chase until the day I die.
