IN HIS EYES

He walked in the front door
Briefcase in hand
Slung it through the air
It smashed into a lamp

She ran from the bedroom
Eyes swollen and red
He grabbed her to his body
Sobbed, and hung his head

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Yeah, it's your life
You take your stand
But don't condemn loved ones
Who don't understand
Patience applies
Paint has to dry
They'll adjust to the color
Just give them time
Yeah...

It's in the eyes
~~*~~

They sat at the table
Album in between
You as a baby
A young man sixteen

Your Dad looked at the pictures
While your Mama cried
He gently held her face
Said, look in his eyes...

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
I look in your eyes, and I see the pain
I've never looked in his, and it's just the same
Why did it take a picture, to make me see
His haunted eyes, the doubt and misery
Here he is with his partner, look how they shine
He's finally happy, love, just look in his eyes
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Yeah, it’s your life
You take your stand
But don’t condemn loved ones
Who don’t understand
Patience applies
Paint has to dry
They’ll adjust to the color
Just give them time
To See your eyes
~~*~~
