YOUR EYES (Joey Molland)
[from The Pilgrim LP - recorded 1992 - released U.S. 1992]
[from The Pilgrim CD - recorded 1992 - released U.S. 1992]

You might say that I was foolish
You might think you hide behind your smile
And I can see where you could say you walked out
You could say you took it in your stride

You might be the one who's laughing
You might be there waiting to be free
And you might say there's nothing to believe in
But you might open up your eyes and see

Your eyes, they shine like diamonds
Your eyes, they tell me you don't see
The lies, half truths and misdirections
We made a bad connection
We got lost at sea

You might say, I wasn't ready
You could say the lies all came from me
When we played the game and lost, I paid out
No matter what the cost to set you free

Your eyes, they shine like diamonds
Your eyes, they tell me you don't see
The lies, half truths and misdirections
We made a bad connection
We got lost at sea

[guitar solo]

Now we all know how life goes on around us
Without us even bothering to see
We let it slide away without a mention
We let it hide away from you and me

Your eyes, they shine like diamonds
Your eyes, they tell me you don't see
The lies, half truths and misdirections
We made a bad connection
We got lost at sea

Your eyes, they shine like diamonds
Your eyes, they tell me you don't see
The lies, half truths and misdirections
We made a bad connection
We got lost at sea

Your eyes, they shine like diamonds
Your eyes, they tell me you don't see
The lies, half truths and misdirections
We made a bad connection
We got lost at sea
(fades out)

YOUR EYES (Joey Molland)
[demo version]

You might say that I was foolish
You might think you hide behind your smile
And I can see where you could say you walked out
You could say you took it in your stride

Now you may be the one who's laughing
You may be there waiting to be free
You might say there's nothing to believe in
You might open up your eyes and see

Your eyes, they shine like diamonds
Your eyes, they tell me you don't see
The lies, half truths and misdirections
We made a bad connection
We got lost at sea

Now you may say, I wasn't ready
You may say the lies all came from me
When we played the game and lost, I paid out
No matter what the cost to set you free

Your eyes, they shine like diamonds
Your eyes, they tell me you don't see
The lies, half truths and misdirections
We made a bad connection
We got lost at sea

[guitar solo]

We all know how life goes on around us
Without us even bothering to see
We let it slide away without a mention
We let it hide away from you and me

Your eyes, they shine like diamonds
Your eyes, they tell me you don't see
The lies, half truths and misdirections
We made a bad connection
We got lost at sea

Your eyes, they shine like diamonds
Your eyes, they tell me you don't see
The lies, half truths and misdirections
We made a bad connection
We got lost at sea
(fades out)
