Randy Stonehill – The History In Your Eyes lyrics

I can't say what you want to hear
I can't give easy answers for your pain
There are wounds time will not wash clean
If we stood here forever in the rain
I believe when we turn around and learn to love
Finally we find ourselves again
Chorus
I can see the history in your eyes
Do you know what I mean
Take A good look in the mirror if you dare
It tells A truth you can't deny
Do you know what I mean
It's all there
The history in your eyes
We were young and the world seemed bright
And we held on to all our brave ideals
It's so strange how those dreams wear thin
Till we scarcely remember how that feels
I believe when we turn around and learn to love
We can find the hope this darkness steals
Chorus 1
I can see the history in your eyes
Do you know what I mean
Take A good look in the mirror if you dare
We learn so well to compromise
Do you know what I mean
It's all there
The history in your eyes
Bridge
Mournful children
Spirits that claw at the sky
Desperate sailors
Lost on the tide, hearts running dry
Chorus 2
I can see the history in your eyes
Do you know what I mean
Take A good look in the mirror if you dare
Is that someone you despise
Do you know what I mean
It's all there
It's all there
Chorus
