i don't need from you
a waterfall of careless praise
and i don't need a trophy
for all the games i played
but all i want is your eyes
in the morning as we wait for a short while

and i don't need you to catch
my wandering 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 wait 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
and all i want is your eyes
in the morning as we wait for a short while
