Bright Eyes

Hayley Westenra · Hayley Westenra [2001]

Is it a kind of dream

Floating out on the tide

Following the river of death down-stream

Oh is it a dream



There's a fog along the horizon

A strange glow in the sky

And nobody seems to know where you go

And what does it mean

Oh oh is it a dream



Bright eyes, burning like fire

Bright eyes, how can you close and fail

How can the light that burned so brightly

Suddenly burn so pale

Bright eyes



Is it a kind of shadow

Reaching into the night

Wandering over the hills unseen

Or is it a dream



There's a high wind in the trees

A cold sound in the air

And nobody ever knows when you go

And where do you start

Oh oh into the dark



Bright eyes, burning like fire

Bright eyes, how can you close and fail

How can the light that burned so brightly

Suddenly burn so pale

Bright eyes



Bright eyes

Bright eyes
