Baxter, Rayland - Yellow Eyes Lyrics






There's a paperclip resting on my countertop
Sunday morning I forgot
What it's like to lose a friend
Yesterday, how it seemed so far away
And I've said all I can say

Now it's time I get to going
Now it's time I get to find my own way
And I'll leave you lonely
I'll leave you lonely

Now I'm on the road
Knowing not which way to go
Is it yes or is it no?
I don't really care

For the golden sun
Has washed me away and I've become
Just another vagabond holding my head

Now it's time I get to going
Now it's time I get to find my own way
And I'll leave you lonely
I'll leave you lonely

All in all it's a beautiful day
When I wake up all alone I cannot help but run away
Now I'm afraid that it's all in my head
Don't you know that it's all in your head

So you rolled the dice
Melt the fire burn the ice
Find the girl with yellow eyes and go and break her heart

See that nothing changes
And I know not what I've become
A prisoner to everyone I've loved from the start

Now it's time I get to going
Now it's time I get to find my own way
And I'll leave you lonely
I'll leave you lonely

    That smile is so contagious. :)

  3. K.... S....

    Love this song.
    He looks like a singing Ryan Gosling

  4. B.... C....

    I was at a Caamp concert and this played between sets. I was singing it and thought it was some older song that everyone knew. I was the only one singing it though. Didn't even know where I heard it. I think it plays at work. So great and glad I found Rayland in a round about way.

  5. J.... ....

    This song deserves all the love. Bravo, Baxter.

  6. L.... P....

    Kudos to the (underrated) keys player

    There's a paperclip resting on my countertop
    Sunday morning I forgot
    What it's like to lose a friend
    Yesterday
    How it seems so far away
    And I've said all I can say
    Now it's time I get to goin'
    Now it's time I get to find my own way
    And I'll leave you lonely
    I'll leave you lonely
    Now I'm on the road
    Knowing not which way to go
    Is it yes or is it no?
    I don't really care
    For the golden sun
    Has washed me away and I've become
    Just another vagabond holding my head
    Now it's time I get to goin'
    Now it's time I get to find my own way
    And I'll leave you lonely
    I'll leave you lonely
    All in all it's a beautiful day
    And I wake up all alone
    I cannot help but run away
    Now I'm afraid
    That it's all in my head
    Don't you know
    That it's all in your head?
    So you roll the dice
    Melt the fire
    Burn the ice
    Find the girl with yellow eyes
    And go and break her heart
    See that nothing changes
    And I know not what I've become
    A prisoner to everyone I've loved from the start
    Now it's time I get to goin'
    Now it's time I get to find my own way
    And I'll leave you lonely
    I'll leave you lonely
    I'll leave you lonely
    I'll leave you lonely
    I'll leave you lonely
    I'll leave you lonely

  72. S.... H....

    Just saw him at Bonnaroo this year and I am already in love!

  73. M.... S....

    Saw Rayland in Cleveland, in February, and he was amazing. I was a vocalist in area bands late sixties, early seventies, and I love original, thoughtful and intelligent music and I thank a coworker for turning me on to Rayland. I love to harmonize with him. That 3 part harmony is fun! Thanks Rayland. You are surprisingly psychedelic live, by the way.

  74. G.... A....

    If you mix Paul Simon with a dash of Bob Dylan you get Rayland Baxter.

    G.... A....

    I literally said the same thing to a friend of mine the other night. Perfect example.

    G.... A....

    potato life that's it!

    G.... A....

    You know, his father played lap steel for bob

    G.... A....

    I was thinking more Paul Simon + Jeff Tweedy

    Good tune!

  77. B.... B....

    J.... N....

    +bassmanchip I think they meant "intentionally showing the bass player," not "he wandered into the shot so we kept it." :D

    J.... N....

    Josh Neilson I know I wanted to see it and copy it lol

  85. C.... P....

    soothing

  86. c.... ....

    Just realized I missed this guy playing at a bar a block from my house tonight. Crap.

  87. K.... ....
