Trembling Blue Stars

Dark Eyes

Album: Broken By Whispers [2000]
Author: Bobby Wratten

I hide myself away

Waiting to be found

But nobody knows I'm here

I won't put things right

By keeping out of sight

That much must be clear

 

I dream and want but I don't try

I just long and long for those dark eyes

Someone I can almost feel

And my life sleeps away

Away as I wait

To gaze into them

Like it's just going to happen

 

I've a heart that needs a home

But more needs to be done

I'm acting like life somehow owes me

I can't just trust in fate

Let shyness win and wait

Wait for the world to come to me

 

I dream and want but I don't try

I just long and long for those dark eyes

Someone I can almost feel

And my life slips away

Away as I wait

To gaze into them

Like it's just going to happen

 

As if she's just going to knock on my door

As if she's just going to knock on my door

 

Someone I know

Nothing about

Who has a name

Who's doing something

Right now

 

I dream and want but I don't try

I just long and long for those dark eyes

Someone I can almost feel

And my life sleeps away

Away as I wait

To gaze into them

Like it's just going to happen
