about

Falling in love is both terrifying and thrilling, and I try to capture that a little in this song.

lyrics

MY LOVER’S EYES words and music © Rosemary Schonfeld

I went to sea one rain soaked night
I went too sea though I was warned
Of bitter fates and endless nights
Drifting all alone forlorn

But I set sail I took no heed
Of good advice I had no need
The ocean roared its beckoning call to me
It roared its call to me

Chorus: The thrill of terror seized my heart
I stepped onto my rolling steed
Anxious that we fast depart
I cut the ties from land to sea

I’m sure there was a screeching gale
Or was it my own fears that wailed?
How can a ship keep such speed
Racing headlong out to sea?

I make this journey of emotion
Holding in my arms a prize
Gazing deep into the ocean
Liquid blue, my lover’s eyes

I had a sleep like honey morphine
On this journey rich in dreams
I woke into warmth and comfort
Rested calm and full of wonder

I make this journey of emotion
Holding in my arms a prize
Gazing deep into the ocean
Liquid blue, my lover’s eyes
