[Verse 1]
By the harbour wall at morning
Kettle on
The seagulls cry
You turn
And all the world turns golden
When the daybreak hits your eyes
[Chorus]
Oh the sunlight in your eyes
Like a wild tide on the rise
Spilling over my surprise
Catch my breath
I lose my lies
I could bless a thousand skies
For the sunlight in your eyes
[Verse 2]
Tea gone cold
I never touch it
Lost in stories on your face
Every freckle
Every crinkle
Feels like home inside this place
[Chorus]
Oh the sunlight in your eyes
Like a wild tide on the rise
Spilling over my surprise
Catch my breath
I lose my lies
I could bless a thousand skies
For the sunlight in your eyes
[Bridge]
Spin me fast
The day is flying (hey!)
Bare feet beating on the floor
You laugh once and in that shining
I don’t need the sun no more
[Chorus]
Oh the sunlight in your eyes
Like a wild tide on the rise
Spilling over my surprise
Catch my breath
I lose my lies
I could bless a thousand skies
For the sunlight in your eyes (in your eyes)
For the sunlight in your eyes
