Terminal Eyes Al Stewart
Terminal Eyes by Al Stewart
Intro
[-----]
[F#]
[F#]Cut glass porcupine sailing on the Serpentine
Fingers on the skyline pulling down the black blinds
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
Rivulet of dark wine moving in a straight line
Smudging out the stop signs, running down the life lines
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
[G#]Shadows on the ceiling, coffee cup congealing,
Tarot cards revealing, a solitary feeling
Terminal eyes, but I think it's alright
[C#]Silver studded jet plane screaming through the migraine
Cutting through the cellophane, wrappers of your tired brain
Terminal eyes - put out the light
Chorus
[B]Terminal Eyes, only the [D]lonely Ara[E]bian [B]skies
[B]Terminal Eyes, calling you [D]home from your [E]restless disguis[B]e.[C#]
F# (guitar solo)
Verse 2
-------
[F#]Hands of the windmill moving to a standstill
Rain on the windowsill, ashes on the phone bill
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
Rain drop fire-flies sparkle on the shop blinds
Echoes of the summertime flicker in the street-signs
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
[G#]Shadows on the ceiling, coffee cup congealing
Eyes that look unseeing, hands that move unfeeling
Terminal eyes, I think it's alright
[C#]Silver studded sea plane breaking through the migraine
Cutting throught the cellophane, enveloping your tired brain
Terminal eyes: put out the light
Chorus
------
[B]Terminal eyes only the [D]lonely Ar[E]abian [B]skies
[B]Terminal eyes calling you [D]home from your [E]restless dis[B]guise
repeat until fade
