In Your Eyes

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

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

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

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

You and I are 'bout to enter last and only try

Feel the bittersweet creation grounded 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 endless themes like fallen trees

Are saying their goodbyes

And I need you by my side

Still I need you by my side

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
