In your eyes - Peter Gabriel

In your eyes - Peter Gabriel

14 december 2014
Van de man die een van de meest indrukwekkende concerten verzorgde die ik ooit beleefd heb, de man van de dubbelcd van 100 gulden, de man van dat liedje over die ogen. Met dat slepende ritme, met die tergend trage maar oh zo lekkere opbouw naar het refrein, met dat origineel met Youssou N'Dour dat eigenlijk onovertroffen is. Maar ook andere uitvoeringen blijven het prima doen.
I want to touch the light and the heat I see in your eyes
Peter Gabriel

Love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

All my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

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 of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes I see the light and the heat
in your eyes, oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light the heat I see in your eyes

Love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

And all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

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 of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes I see the light and the heat
in your eyes, oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes, in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
