my eyes

1.
from the corner of my eye
i watch ur dress fall apart,
revealing, olive coloured skin,
that gently covers up ur heart,
like the ripples of the sea
gently rising up, then slowly down,
rhythmically with ur breathing,
perfectly in tune with every sound

chorus
it's ur face, it's ur smile
it's ur every spoken word,
it's the way that u turn corners,
in this beautiful golden world,
it's the way that we exist,
cloaked in a carefully designed disguise,
it's ur heart that makes me smile,
u make the life within my eyes

2.
from the corner of my eye
i watch ur dress fall apart,
revealing......the person & the body
that heals the hurt inside my heart,

u bless every single breath,
soothe every ache within my bones,
& with each sound ur lips make,
i wish, that ur life was my own

chorus

3.
from the corner of my eye
i watch ur dress fall apart,
the contour of ur hips,
like a gentle breeze in march,
& as hope, it springs eternal,
that inside of u she grows,
a life of pure sweet innocence
but wearing my own clothes

chorus
