In Your Eyes

Accepting all I’ve done and said
I want to stand and stare again
Til there’s nothing left out, oh
It remains there in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
I will hear your silent call
I will touch this tender wall
Til I know I’m home again

In your eyes

Love I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes, the light the heat
In your eyes, I am complete
In your eyes, I see the doorway
to a thousand churches
In your eyes, the resolution
of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes, I see the light and the heat
In your eyes, Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes

In your eyes

Love, I don’t like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

Peter Gabriel
