Lyrics

Bright eyes

Snowflakes in April
nature was out of tune
A cold breeze on the morning
of the day you passed away

Pre-chorus
A blow almost too great for me to bear
My heart was made to be broken but
turned to stone instead

Chorus
Now my tears are falling
over my cheeks like rain
my long and fruitless waiting
But you won`t come again
Bright eyes why you had to go?
Don't leave me here standing in the cold

Behind my sorrow there is sorrow
Hear my broken words
Coming from my lips
As I speak to people I don`t know

Pre-chorus
A blow almost too great for me to bear
My heart was made to be broken but
turned to stone instead
Chorus

Bridge:
Beyond the house of yonder
With the sandy beach in front
We will meet again
Holding hands
with our feet in deep blue water
Will we meet again?

Chorus
