I don't need from you a waterfall of careless praise And I don't need a trophy for all the games I've played But all I want is your eyes In the morning as we wake For a short while And I don't need you to catch my wanderin mind And I don't expect a southern girl to know the northern lights And all I want is your eyes In the morning as we wake For a short while And I do need the wind across my pale face And I do need the fern to unfurl in the spring And I do need the grass to sway Yes I do need to know my place But all I want is your eyes In the morning as we wake For a short while
