To Be In Your Eyes - The Church

Night-time is so lonely

When you hear a sound

But it’s only an empty heart

Beating on through the night

A sad sad drum

And I’m lying here listening

And the raindrops are all glistening

In my dreams

And it seems

That the sun never comes

And I want my sad reflection

To go drifting through the skies

To be in your eyes

And I’m waking to this aching

And it’s breaking me in two

All the space

All the waste

All the distance between me and you

And the people with their voices

Random choices will they ever learn

To really see

Really be on fire when their spirit burns

I want the person inside me To be someone I’d recognise

If he was in your eyes

So I’m waiting, contemplating

Relocating a faded image in my thoughts

But the memories are like clouds

Try so hard

But they never can be caught

But I’m trying, yes I’m trying

But I’m only lying in the dark

So alone

On my own

No one home

And if love was worth a fortune

Then I’d need a rise

To be in your eyes

I want these words to be the things

I hoped you’d realised

To be in your eyes
