Текст песни Lily's Eyes - Robert Westenberg

Strangely quiet, but now the storm simply rests to strike again
Standing, waiting, I think of her, I think of her

(Archibald)
Strange, this Mary, she leaves the room, yet remains - she lingers on
Something stirs me to think of her, I think of her

(Neville)
From death she casts her spell, all night we hear her sighs
And now a girl has come who has her eyes

She has her eyes, the girl has Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that saw him happy long ago
Those eyes that gave him life and hope he'd never known
How can he see the girl and miss those hazel eyes?

(Archibald)
She has her eyes, the girl has Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that closed and left me all alone
Those eyes I fear will never ever let me go
How can I see this girl who has her hazel eyes?

In Lily's eyes a castle, this house seemed to be
And I her bravest knight became, my lady fair was she!

(Neville)
She has her eyes, she has my Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that loved my brother, never me!
Those eyes that never saw me, never knew I longed
To hold her close, to live at last in Lily's eyes

(Archibald)
Imagine me, a lover

(Neville)
I longed for the day
She'd turn and see me standing there

(Both)
Would God have let her stay?

(In counterpoint, Neville)
She has her eyes, she has Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that closed and left me
How can I now forget that I dared to be
In love, alive and whole, in Lily's eyes?
In Lily's eyes!

(In counterpoint, Archibald)
She has my Lily's hazel eyes!
Those eyes that saw me happy long ago!
How can I now forget that once I dared to be
In love, alive and whole, in Lily's eyes?
In Lily's eyes!
