John Hiatt - God's Golden EyesLyrics

We came through the forrest Of jealousy and greed All our loved ones before us Gave us everything we need To cross that great river Of every tear was ever cried 'till we find ourselves staring in God's golden eyes In the desert love waited Licking salt water from her skin We could have been sedated For all that we put in We thought it was some devil Who put the crying in goodbye Till we found ourselves staring in God's golden eyes We found ourselves staring in God's golden eyes And we did all we could do We couldn't run from me and you We did the best we could No matter how hard we tried Like babes we come whining For some forgotten sin Surprised to be shining Just like diamonds in the wind Every facet so perfect And every cut the proper size When we find ourselves staring in God's golden eyes We find ourselves staring in God's golden eyes
