Eyes

I have to keep with the song theme. I am finding songs that I have forgotten how much they touch me, trigger something, make me feel Jim's presence.

Peter Gabriel was an artist that Jim liked, had CD's of and sang to. I also love this song because Jim had beautiful eyes. He had an organ donor wish so his corneas went to help two others see.


"In Your Eyes"
love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand church
sin your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes

Beautiful song, beautiful eyes. I've missed checking up with you and I am so grateful for your friendship. I think I am back from the edge. Hugs...

I've *ALWAYS* loved this song. Thank you for all your support over the past few days. This roller coaster ride really is hard and there's no way off.

HUGS!

Love that song!!! Love it.
My 24 year old son has signs of an eye disease called keratoconus. That means that at some point he will need donor corneas to be able to see. Bless all the people that are organ donors!!
