Peter Gabriel & Youssou N’Dour
This song features Senegalese superstar Youssou N'Dour singing through the coda (he sings parts of the chorus as translated into his native Wolof).
Popular lore holds that this song was written for Rosanna Arquette, with whom Gabriel lived for some time in the 80’s and early 90’s.

[Verse 1: Peter Gabriel]
Love, I get so lost sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away, I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
[Pre-Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
All my instincts, they return
The grand façade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
[Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
In your eyes
The light, the heat (in your eyes)
I am complete (in your eyes)
I see the doorway (in your eyes)
To a thousand churches (in your eyes)
The resolution (in your eyes)
Of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes)
Oh, I see the light and the heat (in your eyes)
Oh, I wanna be that complete (in your eyes)
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
[Verse 2: Peter Gabriel]
Love, I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
[Pre-Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
And all my instincts they return
And the grand façade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
[Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
In your eyes (your eyes, your eyes)
In your eyes
In your eyes
The light, the heat (in your eyes)
I am complete (in your eyes)
I see the doorway
To a thousand churches (in your eyes)
The resolution (in your eyes)
Of all the fruitless searches
Oh, I see the light and the heat (in your eyes)
Oh, I wanna be that complete (in your eyes)
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
[Outro: Youssou N'Dour]
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir

Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
