In Your Eyes

Somehow if you click the title it takes you
To a You Tube of...

Peter Gabriel

"In Your Eyes"

love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
..........................
For me
Love = A Loving Higher Power
(I choose to call God)
In your eyes I am complete
This ones for you God
thanks

I'm glad that it's about God because I'm dealing with trying not to lose myself in another. Trying hard to kick the codependency habit.

yeah i see a lot of god in songs. pam says the same. gods everywhere if you look for it. I cant remember this one off the top of my head though. Strikes me as a bit sugary (which doesnt work for me) but I have no clue as I can't remember the song. I think peter gabriel is a nice guy, and i think i like the guy more than I like his music to be honest. I don't mean I know him, but he's very well known for being a bit of a hippy. I like people that are essentially hippies but very productive and worldly at the same time, and he sort of fits that personality type. as far as i know.

After a lifetime run on self will, pride and intolerence of self and others, this kind of "gentleness" to snuggle up to, at times is exactly what I need. It improves my conscious contact and reminds me, I am enough in Gods eyes. It doesnt matter what my opinion of me is.
