Your Dark Eyes

I always knew that deep inside me somewhere was a traveler
The kind of man who ventures out and doesn't think about home
For years that part of me was struggling to find its freedom
Until one summer I let it have its way, that's when I left for Rome

Getting on the plane I knew the risk that I was taking
Most people wouldn't have the faith to make the choice that I was making

Your dark eyes call me to the journey
Somewhere behind your eyes - a mystery
Your dark eyes, so secret yet inviting
On the horizon lies something like a destiny

Looking in your eyes I feel I'm staring into the future
In the quiet moments I can hear the call of the unknown
I follow and I find the peace of leaving the past behind me
I hold you close and close my eyes and then...  I remember Rome

And now I'm holding onto your hand as the plane leaves the ground
And I'm whispering a prayer of thanksgiving for the soul I've found

I would rather risk the pain of having made mistakes along the way
Than risk the greater pain of regret that I didn't seize the day
