She had the yellow eyes of opal moons
|
So full of love, how could she see?
|
He thought he'd drown in them
|
So he set sail
|
Gracefully she dreamed him free
|
|
The 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 go
|
|
You say, you say
|
|
Oh when she holds me, nobody told me
|
All of the fear her love would bring
|
If you could see me
|
Would you believe me darling
|
That all my fear was only love
|
|
He 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 free
|
|
And you say, you say
|
|
Oh when she holds me, nobody told me
|
All of the fear her love would bring
|
If you could see me
|
Would you believe me darling
|
That all my fear was only love
|
|
She 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 again
|
|
And next time
|
|
Tell her you love her
|
You're always with her
|
Even when you are far away
|
Cause if she could see you
|
I think she'd believe you darling
|
That all your fear was only love
|
All your fear was only love
|
