She had the yellow eyes of opal moons   So full of love, how could she see?   He thought he'd drown in them   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      You say, you say      Oh when she holds me, nobody told me   All of the fear her love would bring   If you could see me   Would you believe me darling   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, you say      Oh when she holds me, nobody told me   All of the fear her love would bring   If you could see me   Would you believe me darling   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   Cause if she could see you   I think she'd believe you darling   That all your fear was only love   all your fear was only love
