I was swimming in the frozen lake of love
Trying desperately to keep my head above
Came up for air and I saw the sky go out
Like the light from a hundred flames of doubt
And I could see clearly in my mind
All that is forward and behind
And I learned all that I need to know
From your eyes from your eyes of sorrow
Eyes of sorrow
Eyes of sorrow
You were standing in the shadow of the night
On the wing, on the edge, afraid of flight
As the mist in your eyes began to grow
You looked down on the frozen lake below
And I could see clearly in my mind
All that is forward and behind
And I learned all that I need to know
From your eyes from your eyes of sorrow
Eyes of sorrow
Eyes of sorrow
As I lay now entangled in your bed
All my thoughts of escaping nearly dead
Then like a soldier from some forgotten war
I pick up my clothes and make for the door
And I can see clearly in my mind
All that is, all I left behind
And I learned all that I need to know
From your eyes from your eyes of sorrow
Eyes of sorrow
Eyes of sorrow
