Sunlight in Your Eyes

Lyrics

Falling into a vacuum
of silence without time,
shaken by distorted view,
no matter how I try.

(Chorus)
But when it seems there's nothing I can do
to take away the hurt inside,
somehow the truth comes shining through,
like the sunlight in your eyes.

Scared of letting go again,
of being left alone,
jilted by a blist'ring wind
that chilled my very soul
(Repeat chorus)

(Bridge)
But I will give my heart away again
and make a sacrifice,
even though I may not always win,
I'll never win if I don't try. . .
(Repeat Chorus and fade.)
