This cavernous pool of light
Immersed in an island of woods
Black opal receptive of despair
Sunrays on the surface
Cradled by chiseled stone
Writing on the mossy edge
Of an antique Vermont quarry
Chorus:
Dark Eyes have seen the light
Burning through this filtered life
Tried to come full circle
But I took a wrong turn
And it’s all coming back at me now
Soothing a heart confused
By the loss of a young soul mate
Stirring the questions of why
With a longing ache
For how could you go and
Leave me in these woods that way
Looking through a darkened porous
Vision of memory
Chorus
