In Your Eyes
Peter Gabriel/Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Lyrics

Love I get so lost, sometimes
Sometimes I feel lost and confused in love.

Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
As time passes by, my heart feels more empty and longing for love.

When I want to run away
When I feel overwhelmed and want to escape from love.

I drive off in my car
I use my car as a means of escape from my emotions.

But whichever way I go
Regardless of the direction I take, it always leads back to you.

I come back to the place you are
I always end up coming back to you, where I feel safe and complete.

All my instincts, they return
My natural impulses and feelings towards you resurface.

And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Any pretense or facade I have created will soon disintegrate.

Without a noise, without my pride
I will let go of my ego and make a move without any arrogance.

I reach out from the inside
I will show my true and vulnerable self in reaching out to you.

In your eyes The light the heat
Your eyes hold a dazzling brightness and warmth.

In your eyes I am complete
Through your eyes, I feel whole and content.

In your eyes I see the doorway to a thousand churches
I see a spiritual connection and the opening of endless possibilities through your eyes.

In your eyes The resolution of all the fruitless searches
I see the solution to all of my past futile efforts to find love in your eyes.

In your eyes I see the light and the heat
I perceive radiance and intense passion in your eyes.

Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to achieve the sense of wholeness and contentment that I feel in your presence.

I want to touch the light
I want to experience the dazzling brightness and radiance I see in your eyes.

The heat I see in your eyes
I wish to also feel the intense passion that I see in your eyes.

Love, I don't like to see so much pain
As someone who cares about you deeply, I am pained to see you suffer.

So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I feel like time is slipping away and I don't want to waste a precious moment with you.

I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I am exhausted from working hard to keep our love and relationship going.

I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
I rely on the time spent with you to feel alert and alive.

In your eyes
Your eyes hold a unique and powerful connection to me.

The light the heat
Your gaze holds a combination of brightness and intense passion.

In your eyes... in your eyes... in your eyes
Your eyes have a significant impact on me, and I will always be drawn to them.
