My Eyes Hurt

My eyes hurt
Full of silver sand
Just watching the beaches
And holding your hand
In my mind
I am breathing freely
Walking in the sunlight
Towards the blue sea
Enjoying the sight
My eyes hurt so much
There are no more tears
To lighten the burden
Of all heavy years
I could be a tree
Smiling in the wind
Dancing in the fragrance
Of the South Seas
My eyes still hurt
They have just turned blue
With palms instead of pupils
Is this really true?
In my quiet room
Looking at the screen
Of virtual images
I can only dream
So I close my eyes
With secret relief
I have found paradise
Despite my belief
My heart is at peace
And you are with me
Together for ever
In the dream of dreams
