Nitin Sawhney - Eastern Eyes lyrics

rate me

For the eastern eyes of a life reborn

When the western skies of a broken dawn

In the first embrace of a haunted smile

With the hopeful eyes of an alien child

I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand

From the half-light to the day

I have come to find my way

I have come to find my way

In the burning sheets of a neighbour's pain

With the sweat of a night and the summer rain

In the cry of birth and the death of fear

For the hope of a light and the joy of tears

I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand

From the half-light to the day

I have come to find my way

I have come to find my way

From the tainted screen of a surgeon mind

From the tear-stained face of a haunted kind

From the shade of death and the flame of life

From the ??est blade of a surgeon's knife

I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand

From the half-light to the day

I have come to find my way

I have come to find my way

Eastern, eastern eyes... your eyes

For these eastern, eastern, eastern, eastern eyes

For these eastern, eastern eyes

For these eastern eyes

Eastern eyes (3x)

Eastern, eastern, eastern eyes (2x)

Eastern, eastern eyes
