What lay hidden in your eyes ?
The impeccable truth or a sea of lies ?
Every time I'd tried collecting sea shells
The sea had mercilessly decimated my sandcastles
Why do I never tire waiting for spring to unveil ?
What makes me still believe in a fairytale ?
Is it possible to love someone
Without having seen or heard or met ?
Without the heart having bled
Not accused, never been used or insulted
Without relationships turned sour or dead
Without ever making life complicated ?
Never leaving one high and dry
Leaving one to only sit back and cry ?
Your eyes sent me on a quest
To set sail in a journey east or west
And swim across the sea of lies
To discover the truth which never dies
So I struggle to tune into life's symphony
With only the cuckoo's song to give me company
Mooring my life to your shore
I can't wait to run and tap at your door
Having found the answer now peacefully I lie
And keep watching your eyes till I die.
