When you look into his eyes
You wish that no one could see him
Only you could be touched by him
And you could walk alone by his side
And if you want to dream with him
Just close your eyes, and hold your breath
And you'll find that you can breathe in water

When you look into his eyes
You wish that no one else could see him
No one else could see him
No one else could feel him

When you look into his eyes
You wish that no one else could see him
No one else could see him
No one else could feel him

When you look into his eyes
You feel he's telling you goodbye
He says "I'm off into the living"
And your lungs ache filled with water
You watch how he walks you by
And all the fish follow him
You smile 'cause you'll always be his lover
When you look into his eyes
You wish that no one else could see him
No one else could see him
No one else could feel him

When you look into his eyes
You wish that no one else could see him
No one else could see him
No one else could feel him
