Youssou N’Dour
In Your Eyes (Live) [Athens 1987]
[Intro: Peter Gabriel & Youssou N'Dour]
"Thank you. Now I can get some help, from our friends from Dakar on percussion, Badou and Assane. And the King of Dakar himself, the incredible voice of Youssou N'Dour."
Accepting all I've done and said
I want to stand and stare again
'Til there's nothing left at all
It remains there, in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
I will hear your silent call
I will touch this in the wall
'Til I know I'm home again
Oh...

In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes

[Verse 1: 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
[Pre-Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
All my instincts, they return
And the grand façade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
Woah, woah, woah

[Chorus: Peter Gabriel & Youssou N'Dour]
In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes I am complete
In your eyes I see the doorway
In your eyes to a thousand churches
In your eyes the resolution
In your eyes of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
In your eyes Oh, I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
In your eyes Oh, I wanna be that complete
In your eyes
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes

[Interlude: Youssou N'Dour]

[Verse 2: Peter Gabriel]
Love, I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
[Pre-Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
And all my instincts, they return
And the grand façade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
Woah, woah, woah

[Chorus: Peter Gabriel & Youssou N'Dour]
In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes I am complete
In your eyes I see the doorway
In your eyes to a thousand churches
In your eyes the resolution
In your eyes of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
In your eyes Oh, I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
In your eyes Oh, I wanna be that complete
In your eyes
In your eyes
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes

[Bridge: Youssou N'Dour & Peter Gabriel]
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir

'Til there's nothing left at all
It remains there, in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
Oh, it's in your eyes
Everyone!
[Bridge: Peter Gabriel & Youssou N'Dour, Peter Gabriel, Youssou N'Dour]
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
I want to stand and stare again
Oh, it's in your eyes
"Thank you! Ευχαριστώ. Youssou N'Dour!"
"Thank you!"
