Anastasia's Eyes

                                  There's thorns on the cactus tree

There's thorns on the rose

There's thorns in the heart of me

That nobody knows



They tear at the flesh until

The tears start to rise

They form in my heart

But they fall from Anastasia's eyes.



And I was lost in the wilderness

Without courage or hope

I was setting my signal fires

And watching the smoke

When out of the smoke appeared

The sweetest surprise

And I knew I'd been found

When first I looked in

To Anastasia's eyes.



There's thorns on the cactus tree

There's thorns on the rose

There's thorns in the heart of me

That nobody knows

But finally I've found out where

My salvation lies

It lies in the love that lives

In Anastasia's eyes
