Lyrics Nik Kershaw

Nik Kershaw

Elizabeth's Eyes

I told my tale with some words

From jail and a Bible vow

But fear and fury were my judge and

Jury so here I am now

There was a letter

A hundred letters

I wrote a letter

It said "Hey Mr. President I hope

You're fit and strong"

And I hope you'll give me every

Chance to live because they done me wrong

My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes

Love I will never have known

My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes

Alone

Still reeling I detect a feeling that I'm here to stay

Somebody locked me up

Somebody threw my key away

I got a letter

A single letter

I read the letter

It said "Hang in there boy

I am fighting for you still"

It was then I knew I really loved her too

I guess I always will

My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes

Love I will never have known

My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes

Alone

Another letter

The last letter

I wrote a letter

It said "Don't cry lady, you really shouldn't care"

Tuesday at seven I will find my heaven

And I'll see you there

My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes

Love I will never have known

My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes

Alone

My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes

Love I will never have known

My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes

Alone
