He listens as she starts to cry
Into that cold December night
She knows he's leaving her soon
For a land that lies under a distant moon
And her faith will dry out
The sounds of the waiting silence
Amplify her doubt and loneliness
Months pass and she still sheds tears
She'll be torn for the next two years
But her will will return
Though she may find a stranger returns
It's beneath her skin
And she walks alone through his night
And it taints her thoughts
Cause she finds no truth in his eyes
Those eyes
He walks with the sun on his side
Strengthened by having only faith to guide
A pretty voice to match a pretty soul
What he meant to her, he'll never know
Cause he's no longer there
For now, he's fighting peaceful battles far away
And it's beneath her skin
And she walks alone through his night
And it taints her thoughts
Cause she finds no truth in his eyes
Those eyes
So here we are, years apart
It's beneath her skin
And she walks alone through his night
And it taints her thoughts
Cause she finds no truth in his eyes
It's beneath her skin
As she walks alone through his night
And it haunts her so
Cause she finds no truth in his eyes
Those eyes
