I always close my eyes,
When I look into the sun,
When an emotion gets a hold,
And my world it comes undone.

I close my eyes,
And drift away,
Ee onna le oh,
Onna le, onna le, onna le ah.

I close my eyes to record the pain,
To feel the emotion to it's full potential,
To feel the pain, the laughter, the love,
Feelings oh so substanial.

I close my eyes,
And drift away,
Ee onna la oh,
Onna le, onna le, onna le ah.

But the images portrayed behind closed blue eyes,
Aren't always those of sunny hued skies,
They may come from feeling to much,
They may come from lack of human touch.

I close my eyes,
And drift away,
Ee onna le oh,
Onna le, onna le, onna le ah.

If only he'd drift with me.....

we never drift alone. . . it only seems that way. . .

you know, if only our eyes were open, then we'd see. . . I can see that here. . . well done. . .

Yep....I wish someone in my life would open their eyes see the obvious. But I'm running out of hope for that. Nice work Isis

"If only he'd drift with me" Ah, dear Isis,
say's it all, doesn't it. Such longing I hear and feel, and wanting...Very well expressed, my friend.

Must confess I don't know these lines ...though can sort of surmise...maybe enlighten me???

Onna le, onna le, onna le ah."

Thankyou all!

So glad my musical interlude was so well liked!!
Ee onna le oh, is nothing, means nothing, just shall we say a chant of wanting or pain or bewilderment....
Glad you all enjoyed
