In Your Eyes
Music & lyrics, 1975
Silence
Follows the storm that raged within your eyes
Sacrificed
The offering made to many
Of love, of peace, of dreams
Now they’re gone
Walking
Towards the abyss in the (darkened) night
Mortal pain
I take you by the hand
And lead you to the waters
Of your mind
In your eyes I see the bountiful streams of love
Let me take you in the night
I will love you and together we will know
The stairs, the kingdom, and the throne
The pools
The Graafian light descends
Giving light
To weary love that wavers
To the darkness of the night
We are one
Peaceful rivulets
Now the wings of freedom take their flight
Shorelines fade
The whispers of the past
Are silent as we climb
Now we’re gone
In your eyes I see the bountiful streams of love
Let me take you in the night
I will love you and together we will know
The stairs, the kingdom, and the throne
In your eyes I see the fire burning low
In my arms you’ll find peace
Onwards through the fiery burning doors of Hell
To see the stairs, the kingdom, and the throne
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
