It Is You

My eyes - a blind window
The other world is calling
Brown night dwells inside
You say it´s appalling
When I get drowned in Gin
Baby you´re not fair
It is you who´s disarranged my mind

Baby I remind you
Of what you´ve been to me
Center of a life
Now turned to misery
Your heart as cold as snow
Well all the people know
It is you who´s disarranged my mind
