I don't need from you a waterfall of careless praise
And I don't need a trophy for all the games I've played
But all I want is your eyes
In the morning as we wake
For a short while
And I don't need you to catch my wanderin 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 wake
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
But all I want is your eyes
In the morning as we wake
For a short while
