She had the yellow eyes of opal moons So full of love, how could she see? He thought he'd drown in them 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, and you want to die Because you let her go You say, you say Oh when she holds me, nobody told me All of the fear her love would bring If you could see me Would you believe me darling That all my fear was only love He had a one time look at paradise A white light, it was bright to blinding paradise All of the angels that you can't see When you're equating love Equating love, with never being free And you say, you say Oh when she holds me, nobody told me All of the fear her love would bring If you could see me Would you believe me darling That all my fear was only love She had the yellow eyes of opal moons You looked away from them too soon The 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 You're always with her Even when you are far away Cause if she could see you I think she'd believe you darling That all your fear was only love All your fear was only love
