Yellow Eyes

She had the yellow eyes of opal moons
So full of love how could she see
He thought he'd drown in them
And so he set sail
Gracefully she dreamed him free
The Indian Ocean washed him on her shore
Flat backed on a dirt packed floor one eye on the door
You're ten thousand miles away
As the birds fly high
And you wanna die
Because you let her go
And you say

Oh when she'd hold me
Nobody told me
All of the fear her love would bring
Ohhh if ya could see me
Would you believe me darlin
That all my fear was only love

Well he had a one time look at paradise
A white light
It was bright to blinding paradise
All of the angels that ya can't see
When you're equating love
Equating love
With never being free
And you say

Oh when she'd hold me
Nobody told me
All of the fear her love would bring
Ohhh if ya could see me
Would you believe me darlin
That all my fear was only love

Instrumental Break

She had the yellow eyes of opal moons
Ya looked away from them too soon
Best I can say to you
Though I don't know when is
That I know you'll feel this way I know I know you'll feel this way again
And next time

Tell her you love her oh
You're always with her
Even when you are far away
Whoa oh ohhh ohhhh if she could see you
I know she'd believe you darlin
That all your fear is only love

Only only love
Only only love
Only love
Oh ohhh ohhhh only love
