Yellow Eyes Lyrics - Singles - Minnie Driver

She had the yellow eyes of opal moons 

So full of love 

How could she see? 

He thought he'd drown in them 

And so he set sail 

Gracefully she dreamed him free 

The Indian ocean washed him on her shore 

Flat backed on a dirt packed floor 

One eye on the door 

You're ten thousand miles away 

As the birds fly, and you want to die 

Because you let her go 

And you say 

Oh when she holds me, nobody told me 

All of the fear her love would bring 

Oh if you could see me 

Would you believe me darlin'? 

That all my fear was only love 

He had a one time look at paradise 

A white light 

It was bright to blinding paradise 

All of the angels that you can't see 

When you're equating love 

Equating love, with never being free 

And you say 

Oh when she holds me, nobody told me 

All of the fear her love would bring 

Oh if you could see me 

Would you believe me darlin'? 

That all my fear was only love 

She had the yellow eyes of opal moons 

You looked away from them too soon 

The best I can say to you 

Though I don't know when 

Is that I know you'll feel this way 

I know, I know you'll feel this way again 

And next time 

Tell her you love her, you're always with her 

Even when you are far away 

Oh 'cause if she could see you 

I know she'd believe you darlin' 

That all your fear was only love 

Only only love 

Only only love 

Only love 

Only love
