i don't need from you a waterfall of careless praise
and i don't need a trophy for all the games i've played
but all i want is your eyes
in the morning as we wake
for a short while
and i don't need you to catch my wanderin mind
and i don't expect a southern girl to know the northern lights
and all i want is your eyes
in the morning as we wake
for a short while
and i do need the wind across my pale face
and i do need the fern to unfurl in the spring
and i do need the grass to sway
yes i do need to know my place
but all i want is your eyes
in the morning as we wake
for a short while
