I Can See It In Your Eyes by Men At Work

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 its love you want.
I realize,
I can see it in your eyes.
You're moving on to something more.

You'll never know why
Your face has haunted me
My very soul has to bleed this time
Another hole in the wall of
My inner defenses
