Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I walked through walls to be with you
In early nighttime, morning came so soon
And on Thursday night, New York glowed
I was in your arms, black water flowed
[Verse 2]
And if you were told
Would you ever know
[Verse 3]
Do you see me tonight
With the coins on my eyes?
Love's sweet surprise
The light upon your face
And all the lovers at war
That roll down the line
Your love felt so fine
The light upon your face
Yeah
[Verse 4]
And while we lie, he is alone
Wide eyed lonely and dreaming of home
And you know, there is nothing more that I can say
I just close my eyes, let you carry me away
[Verse 5]
And if you were told
Would you ever know
[Verse 6]
And do you see me tonight
With the coins on my eyes?
Love's sweet surprise
The light upon your face
And all the lovers at war
That roll down the line
Your love felt so fine
The light upon your face
[Verse 7]
Well, you know love is, always looking, for an open grave
Yah, to lay down, unfold it's arms and die
[Verse 8]
Do you see me tonight
With the coins on my eyes?
Love's sweet surprise
The light upon your face
And all the lovers at war
That roll down the line
Your love felt so fine
The light upon your face, yeah, yeah
[Verse 9]
Singing, that Laura has the brightest eyes
Yeah, Laura has the brightest eyes
Yeah, yeah
