Peruvian Silver

Peruvian Silver - Unni Wilhelmsen

My eyes are open just come on through

My focused vision will decipher you

Like an ornament carved out in truth

I'm ready to embellish you

I know I'm too vigorous sometimes

But I need the sole position in your mind

Like peruvian silver around your neck

I hang around my home

And I wish it back

I wish you back

My eyes are open and you're coming through

I hope my focused vision will decipher you

Like an ornament carved out in truth

I put my total trust in you

But how kind are you

How generous do you feel

Do you steal hearts

To wear and tear until you leave

And how proud are you

How dignified must you be

Not to keep hearts and trophies to subsist on

Though my eyes I try to keep closed

I feel I see this clearer than most

But my eyes were open

And you came right through

I thought my focused vision

Would decipher you

I know I'm too whimsical sometimes

But in your eyes I need to shine

Like peruvian silver in a velvet bag

My value grows between your hands

And like peruvian silver around your neck

I handed you my pride

Now I need it back

I want it back

Please give it back
