Amber Lyrics by Lisa Cerbone

Close Your Eyes

1995

[Verse 1]
Amber, your life is as messy
As your long knotty hair
You know it's been that way
Since your step-father was let out of jail

[Verse 2]
You knew your mom always blamed you
She’d slap you on the ear
And drop you off on blue highways of despair
You walk on, you walk on

[Chorus]
But you know a good little girl
Listens to her mother
And you know a good little girl
Listens to her mother

[Verse 3]
Playing dress-up, gigglin'
With all that make-up on
Twirlin' mom's old skirt ‘round and ‘round
In the living room like a big star
He's always lounging on the couch
He's got his drink towards his mouth
He's staring, never takin' his eyes away

[Verse 4]
Shadow of a clown
When the night comes down
And he steals every secrеt place
You thought someone was bound to hеar you scream

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, she blames you
She blames you

[Chorus]
You know a good little girl
Listens to her mother
And you know a good little girl
Listens to her mother

[Bridge]
He threshed the grains of a young heart 'til it was naked
He threshed the grains of a young heart 'til it was dry
No more amber waves of grain left in this land
Only the empty husk still lives on
Still lives on, still lives on

[Verse 5]
Amber is settlin' over the hills, the clouds
Just before night
Disappearin' before she first came to sight
She's gone, gone
Do you know where she's buried now?
Do you know where she's buried now?

[Verse 6]
And you’re watchin' the cars go by
Starin’ off towards the sun
And you're hopin' she'll come back for ya
But she won't
She blames you
She blames you
She blames you

[Outro]
He threshed the grains of a young heart 'til it was naked
He threshed the grains of a young heart 'til it was dry
No more amber waves of grain left in this land
Only the empty husk still lives on
Still lives on, still lives on
