From a far away land

Far more beautiful

Than the picture in his hand

She had eyes

That would draw him in

Am   C/G    F     C
They took a plane ride

With all of his heart

Her secrets and her trust

If it sat in his palm

Am  C/G
One rainy day

       F           C
It was dark in the sky

With grey in her eyes
