Maverick Gleam

this is a song for you
though perhaps some others will hear
this is a song for you
when you cant be near

now I dont want to play the poet
or the clever clown
just want to take hold of these feelings
and pin them down

cause maybe its just a mirage that Im seeing
some maverick gleam
a trick of the way the light falls in a dream

oh Ive never seen eyes like yours
brown in a circle of blue
like the sky round the earth
when the sun comes shining through

and when you turn those eyes to me
well I hardly know what to do
I see the sky round the earth
I see me in a circle of you

but maybe its just a mirage that Im seeing
some maverick gleam
a trick of the way the light falls in a dream

well you know that Im hard to live with
sometimes Im downright mean
but you make me feel I could love you
love you like youve never seen

and I thought it was just a mirage
some maverick gleam
a trick of the way the light falls in a dream

but I think finally this time
I can trust the view
see how the light holds steady
when its coming from you

so this is a song for you
though perhaps some others will hear
this is a song for you
when you cant be near
