Eyes Like Night

You stood alone beside the sea,
The wind moved softly through the trees.
No name, no story, no demand,
Just midnight resting in your hands.
I should have turned and walked away,
But night inside your eyes said stay.
Eyes like night, deep enough to lose the light.
Pull me where the stars collide, keep me on the darker side.
Eyes like night, beautiful and out of sight.
If I disappear inside, let me live here a while.
Eyes like night, stars collide, stay a while.
You smiled as if you knew my past,
As if this moment had to last.
The ocean moved beneath the moon,
And every wave returned to you.
Eyes like night, deep enough to lose the light.
