Water in Your Eyes

Verse 1

I see water in your eyes

Like a silent stormy sky

I see water in your eyes

Like grey clouds slowly drifting by

Your gaze runs away from light

Lost in dust and fading sight

 

Bridge

Like a dream that weighs too much

Slowly fading from our touch

 

Chorus

I see water in your eyes

Under dark and troubled skies

I see water in your eyes

In a hush of deep disguise

If your heart should hide away

I’ll be there to find the way

 

Verse 2

I see water in your eyes

Like a dream that softly cries

In your voice the trembling wind

Guards a secret held within

Yet your heart still keeps a spark

Lighting softly through the dark

 

Bridge

Like a dream that weighs too much

Slowly fading from our touch

 

Chorus

I see water in your eyes

Under dark and troubled skies

I see water in your eyes

In a hush of deep disguise

If your heart should hide away

I’ll be there to find the way

 

Verse 3

I see water in your eyes

Like a quiet mirrored tide

Like the rain upon the sea

Whispering its mystery

But behind each passing cloud

I can feel your strength unbowed

 

Bridge

Like a dream that weighs too much

Slowly fading from our touch

 

Chorus

I see water in your eyes

Under dark and troubled skies

I see water in your eyes

In a hush of deep disguise

If your heart should hide away

I’ll be there to find the way

 

Outro

Even when you lose your way

In the cold of winter days

I still see within your eyes

A small star somewhere that shines
