I don't need from you a waterfall of careless praise
And I don't need a trophy for all the games I played
But all I want is your eyes
In the morning as we wait for a short while

And I don't need you to catch my wandering mind
And I don't expect a southern girl to know the northern lights
And all I want is your eyes
In the morning as we wait for a short while

And I do need the wind across my pale face
And I do need the fern to unfurl in the spring
And I do need the grass to sway
Yes, I do need to know my place

And all I want is your eyes
In the morning as we wait for a short while
