In her little black dress all covered in white
She looked at me and turned
Eyes away  
Eyes so sad
Waiting and needing a better place

Sad are the eyes in her heart
Sad are the lips that want
Sad in her face comes a cry for the help
A one day near
A one day home

Her love was lost
Gone
Far away and so the eyes sighed
A sadness
Life that told me a waiting
Wishing a better here

But that is not the now
Then is not the here
When is not the want
Now is not the need

Sad are the eyes in her heart
Sad are the lips that want
Sad in her face comes a cry for the help
A one day near
A one day home

My reaching hand held a chance
A turn away
A sound of silence
Broke my madness
I tried
Sad are the eyes before me
That turned and looked away
