Violet Eyes Lyrics

Levon Helm Violet Eyes

Here I am all alone, waiting for your heart to change
And I'm hoping that love will light the way
That leads to where you hide
Behind your eyes of fire and ice

Violet eyes
Can't you hear me takin' to you
Do my words only get in my way
Violet eyes
It's just a feeling
Please don't leave til it passes away

All along I've been trying like a bird against the wind
Still I'm flying, and I'm hoping once again
To see behind your curtain
Where I'm sure your secret lies

Violet eyes
Can't you hear me takin' to you
Do my words only get in my way
Violet eyes
It's just a feeling
Please don't leave til it passes away

For as long as love lives inside me
There's nothing I couldn't give, wouldn't give, couldn't try

Violet eyes
Can't you hear me takin' to you
Do my words only get in my way
Violet eyes
It's just a feeling
Please don't leave til it passes away
Please don't leave til it passes away
