Dark Eyes
You made me dream with a southern land,
A golden tower in the evening sun.
You made me ask those shooting stars
For a wish that wasn't theirs to give.
Blissful you turned my day, if I crossed your way.
Dreary and sad when you shied away.
I knew the answer but I had to ask,
Didn't help, it still smote my heart.
And your smile's enough to see
All that we could have been
And your eyes enough to know
You'll never be my own.
Falling down this waterfall
Kind of hoped that you'd come along
But instead you pushed me off
And turned back all alone.
Forgive me if I can't forget
Before I hit the bottom
Those black pearl eyes, or where they dark brown,
Never even got that close.
And your smile's enough to see
All that we could have been
And your eyes enough to know
You'll never be my own.
It's over
You're over
Spread your wings, little bird, fly away
I'll watch you go
And yonder
I'll ponder
What you said, what I said then nobody
Kept their word.
Just a mirage, dived and hit the ground
Missed the sign, it said 'out of bounds'
Who's fault? Was it time's or mine?
I guess we just weren't meant to rhyme.
And your smile's enough to see
All that we could have been
And your eyes enough to know
You'll never be my own.
It's over
You're over
Spread your wings, little bird, fly away
I'll watch you go
And yonder
I'll ponder
What you said, what I said then nobody
Kept their word.
It's over
You're over
Spread your wings, little bird, fly away
I'll watch you go
And yonder
I'll ponder
What you said, what I said then nobody
Kept their word.
A golden tower in the evening sun.
You made me ask those shooting stars
For a wish that wasn't theirs to give.
Blissful you turned my day, if I crossed your way.
Dreary and sad when you shied away.
I knew the answer but I had to ask,
Didn't help, it still smote my heart.
And your smile's enough to see
All that we could have been
And your eyes enough to know
You'll never be my own.
Falling down this waterfall
Kind of hoped that you'd come along
But instead you pushed me off
And turned back all alone.
Forgive me if I can't forget
Before I hit the bottom
Those black pearl eyes, or where they dark brown,
Never even got that close.
And your smile's enough to see
All that we could have been
And your eyes enough to know
You'll never be my own.
It's over
You're over
Spread your wings, little bird, fly away
I'll watch you go
And yonder
I'll ponder
What you said, what I said then nobody

Just a mirage, dived and hit the ground

And your smile's enough to see

And your eyes enough to know
You'll never be my own.
It's over
You're over
Spread your wings, little bird, fly away
I'll watch you go
And yonder
I'll ponder
What you said, what I said then nobody

It's over
You're over
Spread your wings, little bird, fly away
I'll watch you go
And yonder
I'll ponder
What you said, what I said then nobody
Kept their word.
