Lyrics

When you look into these eyes of mine,
Will you know me, will you give a sign...

It was on some distant day; the oceans washed away,
In some far distant land; a promise in the sand.

When you look into this heart of mine,
Will you see the lives we left behind...

The question cries out loud; a universe resounds
In the answer that I heard, without a single word.

Come freely... Come singing a song older than the sea.
Come sweetly... Come sing of the love to be.

Gather close into these arms of mine,
We are drifting through the sands of time...

In the shadow of your goodbyes, I will cry for a thousand lives,
By the light of a hundred skies, I will find you again in time,
You will look into these eyes... And then I will call you mine.
