Through Your Eyes

When the lights have all come down
And the jets cool on the ground
Your wind gentle from the east
Whispers low and speaks to me

Do you remember
Wings coming clear
Far above in the stratosphere we ran
On currents electric through your eyes

I never could see
Whatever would be
Head over heels
Tumbling with me
And going headlong so high
Thought we'd never come back down
Whatever we'd do
It was me
It was you

And I wish I'd see you now
Through the fire in the clouds
Waves echo from the first kiss
Through the years still burning like this

Do you remember
Wings flying far
I'd wake to daylight and be right where you are
The sunlight's rays brightly through your eyes

As the seconds keep speeding
That look on your face it
Reminds me of needing you
From a thousand summers ago

When the world was still safe and
Words still went with meaning
The lines weren't yet drawn
Between you and me had no scars to show

Watching over the airfield
With everyone else gone
But our hearts still beating
Take my hand baby don't let go

And let's not promise anything
We can't be keeping
Only to be there whenever
The other needs most
