Yellow Eyes

She had the yellow eyes of opal moons
So full of love
How could she see?
He thought he'd drown in them
And so he set sail
Gracefully she dreamed him freeThe Indian ocean washed him on her shore
Flat backed on a dirt packed floor
One eye on the door
You're ten thousand miles away
As the birds fly, and you want to die
Because you let her goAnd you sayOh when she holds me, nobody told me
All of the fear her love would bring
Oh if you could see me
Would you believe me darlin'?
That all my fear was only loveHe had a one time look at paradise
A white light
It was bright to blinding paradise
All of the angels that you can't see
When you're equating love
Equating love, with never being freeAnd you sayOh when she holds me, nobody told me
All of the fear her love would bring
Oh if you could see me
Would you believe me darlin'?
That all my fear was only loveShe had the yellow eyes of opal moons
You looked away from them too soon
The best I can say to you
Though I don't know when
Is that I know you'll feel this way
I know, I know you'll feel this way againAnd next timeTell her you love her, you're always with her
Even when you are far away
Oh 'cause if she could see you
I know she'd believe you darlin'
That all your fear was only loveOnly only love
Only only love
Only love
Only love
