Lola Marsh In Your Eyes
[Verse 1]
At summer day you told me I was grounded
I left the house and ran back to the yard
I kept the stones you gave me in my pocket
They remind me, remind me of Africa
[Chorus 1]
We sat all night with my guitar
And whispered chords to the moonlight
You showed me different stars across the sky
And I was scared of the neighbor's dog
When all the stars were shining
In your eyes
In your eyes
[Verse 2]
For many years, I've tried to make it better
But the air was cold and you didn't know how to swim
A thousand drops of water tried to take us
And they still haunt me, they haunt me in my dreams
[Chorus 2]
You saved our lives when I was four
And whispered words in the sunlight
You showed us different scars across your hand
It was early in the morning when you kept the tears from falling
From your eyes
From your eyes
I can see it in your eyes
In your eyes
[Bridge]
You and I are 'bout to enter, last and only try
Feeling bittersweet creation, grandly me to the sky
And I keep you close like the summer rows
My childhood in your eyes
So climb with me back to the roof
And show me different stars
All the songs you have forgotten
Are about to come alive
When the old become the new
I save them deeper than my heart
All the ends leave like fallen trees
Are saying their goodbyes
And I need you by my side
Still I need you by my side
[Chorus 3]
Do you remember when you told us
About the day you lost your hand?
The reason you stopped playing
You passed the dream onto your child
And now I'm playing for you
I can see again the past
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
