I Can See It In Your Eyes

By your leave, I think that I'll be going now

I think I've stayed a little long

I looked up all my mother's recipes

I can't think what I did wrong

We go to a restaurant, but you don't like wine

You say it's love you want, but there is no time

I realize, I can see it in your eyes

You keep staring at the floor

I used to look at your school photographs

But I don't have them anymore

I wonder who's in my old college rooms

Or stuck on my old locker door

I dream of the ships at sea, on a stormy night

I wish that it was me, but I wake in fright

I realize, I can see it in your eyes

I've only got myself to blame

Winter kisses when your lips were blue

Like chasing wild geese in the snow

Pressing faces on the window panes

But that's a long long time ago

We go to a restaurant

You say it's love you want

I realize, I can see it in your eyes

You're moving on to something more
