In Your Eyes (Special Mix) Lyrics
[Intro: Peter Gabriel]
Accepting all I've done and said
I want to stand and stare again
'Til there's nothing left, and
Oh, it remains there in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
I will hear your silent call
And I will touch this tender wall
'Til I know I'm home again
Oh
[Interlude: Peter Gabriel, Ronnie Bright, & Youssou N'Dour]
(In your eyes) In your eyes
(In your eyes) In your eyes
(In your eyes) In your eyes
(In your eyes)
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
[Pre-Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
And all my instincts, they return
And the grand façade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
Accepting all I've done and said
I want to stand and stare again
'Til there's nothing left, and
Oh, it remains there in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
I will hear your silent call
And I will touch this tender wall
'Til I know I'm home again
Oh
[Interlude: Peter Gabriel, Ronnie Bright, & Youssou N'Dour]
(In your eyes) In your eyes
(In your eyes) In your eyes
(In your eyes) In your eyes
(In your eyes)
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
[Pre-Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
And all my instincts, they return
And the grand façade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus: Peter Gabriel, Ronnie Bright]
(In your eyes)
(In your eyes)
(In your eyes) The light, the heat
(In your eyes) I am complete
(In your eyes) I see the doorway
To a thousand churches
(In your eyes) The resolution
(In your eyes) Of all the fruitless searches
(In your eyes)
Oh, I see the light and the heat
(In your eyes) Oh, I wanna be that complete
(In your eyes) I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
(In your eyes)
[Interlude: Youssou N'Dour, Ronnie Bright]
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay (In your eyes)
Sa bet (In your eyes) Maangi ci biir, sa bet (In your eyes) Chi lamp, chi tangaay
Sa bet, maangi ci biir (In your eyes) sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay (In your eyes)
Sa bet (In your eyes) Maangi ci biir, sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay (In your eyes)
[Verse: Peter Gabriel]
Accepting all I've done and said
I want to stand and stare again
Til there's nothing left and, oh
It remains there in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
Oh, it's in your eyes
[Chorus: Peter Gabriel, Ronnie Bright]
(In your eyes)
(In your eyes)
(In your eyes) The light, the heat
(In your eyes) I am complete
(In your eyes) I see the doorway
To a thousand churches
(In your eyes) The resolution
(In your eyes) Of all the fruitless searches
(In your eyes)
Oh, I see the light and the heat
(In your eyes) Oh, I wanna be that complete
(In your eyes) I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
(In your eyes)
[Interlude: Youssou N'Dour, Ronnie Bright]
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay (In your eyes)
Sa bet (In your eyes) Maangi ci biir, sa bet (In your eyes) Chi lamp, chi tangaay
Sa bet, maangi ci biir (In your eyes) sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay (In your eyes)
Sa bet (In your eyes) Maangi ci biir, sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay (In your eyes)
[Verse: Peter Gabriel]
Accepting all I've done and said
I want to stand and stare again
Til there's nothing left and, oh
It remains there in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
Oh, it's in your eyes
