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
