Yellow Eyes - Minnie Driver

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, and you want to die

Because you let her go

And you say

Oh when she holds me, nobody told me

All of the fear her love would bring

Oh if you could see me

Would you believe me darlin'?

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

Oh when she holds me, nobody told me

All of the fear her love would bring

Oh if you could see me

Would you believe me darlin'?

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

Oh 'cause if she could see you

I know she’d believe you darlin'

That all your fear was only love

Only only love

Only only love

Only love

Only love
