Darkling Eyes

What moves behind those darkling eyes What memories concealed - What shadows drift within their gaze What visions unrevealed If I could reach into your mind All hidden thoughts to know What phantoms would I find therein What dreams would inside flow For as I look upon those eyes I see a secret world A world that you alone shall keep To never be unfurled The stories that you hold within Are yours forevermore To carry with you through all time Within your mem'ry store So when I see a wistful smile Or catch a teardrop fall I know that you're remembering All that you would recall Perhaps a mother's gentle kiss Perhaps her warm embrace Or maybe it's a sadder song Reflected on your face If only you would beckon me Behind those darkling eyes That I might join my soul with yours Before the sunlight dies
