Lyrics
Rise up, salute the morning
Stand alive before the sun
Pull the covers off my dreaming
Tell me now, the day's begun
Oh brown eyes, beautiful brown eyes
Burning in the sunrise
Step out on the new horizon
Say you're only gone a while
Leave me staring at the shadow
That's dancing around the sundial
Oh brown eyes, beautiful brown eyes
Staring down a blue sky
Some day will I find you
On the moon's darker side
Spilling secrets in the ocean
Breaking open with the tide
Oh brown eyes, beautiful brown eyes
Burning in the sunrise
Staring down a blue sky
Brighter than you realize
