Lyrics and translation
Original
Eyes, like a river to the sea, reaching wide and running deep, kind and honest.
Eyes, I see you looking down at me, like a child up in a tree when the sun is high.
And the grass is vivid green, and the swallows make a scene, bathed all in life.
And rabbits made of velveteen, fingers drifting over knees, and a thousand nights.
All our fears can fall to sleep, and the darkness that we keep can't put out our eyes.
And a tear runs down my cheek, when I feel you loving me with kind and honest eyes.

All our fears can fall to sleep, and the darkness that we keep can't put out our eyes.
And a tear runs down my cheek, when I feel you loving me with kind and honest eyes.
