Her eyes are an ocean crystalline
And all the world around and all she's ever seen
It's been lost at sea, it seems that she can't see
If she could, she'd see that this is what they're doing to me, yeah
With every little peak in the mirror she sneaks
In her mind'll creep a doubt, in her heart a little pique
And what I just can't say is what she sees as it seems
I see a beautiful face, she sees but shadows and dreams
Her eyes, they lie, and she cries
Hey, if I could just say
A little word or two before you steal away
You may not see it, dear, and s'pose I'm scared to say
But maybe one of us'll sort it out one of these days
Behind her lovely eyes a beacon mind shines true
It might light the whole world if she'd just let it through
No mist could ever obscure her, but I can't construe
A heart so sadly demure, oh, if she only knew
Her mind might lie and she'd cry
One of these days...
