Brandi Carlile "The Eye" | Austin City Limits Web Exclusive

  • 0:03 - 0:05
    We're gonna sing you guys
    a song that's all about
  • 0:05 - 0:07
    three part harmony
    right now.
  • 0:07 - 0:10
    This is the song
    that reveals
  • 0:10 - 0:11
    that there really is
    no lead singer
  • 0:11 - 0:14
    in this band called
    Brandi Carlile.
  • 0:15 - 0:16
    It's called The Eye.
  • 0:17 - 0:21
    (acoustic guitar music)
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    It really breaks my heart
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    To see a dear old friend
  • 0:36 - 0:41
    Go down to the worn out place again
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    Do you know the sound
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    Of a closing door?
  • 0:49 - 0:54
    Have you heard that
    sound somewhere before?
  • 0:55 - 1:00
    Do you wonder if she
    knows you anymore?
  • 1:03 - 1:08
    I wrapped your love
    around me like a chain
  • 1:08 - 1:13
    But I never was afraid
    that it would die
  • 1:15 - 1:20
    You can dance in a hurricane
  • 1:20 - 1:25
    But only if you're standing in the eye
  • 1:30 - 1:33
    Where did you learn to walk?
  • 1:33 - 1:37
    Where did you learn to run?
  • 1:37 - 1:42
    Away from everything you love
  • 1:43 - 1:46
    Did you think the bottle
  • 1:46 - 1:49
    Would ever ease your pain?
  • 1:49 - 1:54
    Did you think that
    love's a foolish game?
  • 1:54 - 2:01
    Did you find someone
    else to take the blame?
  • 2:03 - 2:08
    I wrapped your love
    around me like a chain
  • 2:08 - 2:14
    But I never was afraid
    that it would die
  • 2:15 - 2:20
    You can dance in a hurricane
  • 2:20 - 2:26
    But only if you're standing in the eye
  • 2:27 - 2:32
    You can dance in a hurricane
  • 2:32 - 2:38
    But only if you're standing in the eye
  • 2:39 - 2:42
    (acoustic guitar music)
  • 2:51 - 2:55
    I am a sturdy soul
  • 2:55 - 2:58
    And there ain't no shame
  • 2:58 - 3:03
    In lying down in the bed you made
  • 3:04 - 3:09
    Can you fight the urge
    to run for another day?
  • 3:11 - 3:16
    You might make it further
    if you learn to stay
  • 3:18 - 3:23
    I wrapped your love
    around me like a chain
  • 3:24 - 3:29
    But I never was afraid
    that it would die
  • 3:30 - 3:35
    You can dance in a hurricane
  • 3:36 - 3:41
    But only if you're standing in the eye
  • 3:42 - 3:47
    You can dance in a hurricane
  • 3:47 - 3:52
    But only if you're standing in the eye
