Eric Whitacre, The Brigham Young University Singers & Ronald Staheli water night

Select language to translate this lyric

Night with the eyes
Of a horse that trembles in the night
Night with eyes of water
In the field asleep is in your eyes
A horse that trembles is in
Your eyes of secret water.
Eyes of shadow-water,
Eyes of well-water,
Eyes of dream-water.
Silence and solitude,
Two little animals moon-led,
Drink in your eyes,
Drink in those waters.
If you open your eyes, night opens doors of musk,
The secret kingdom of the water opens
Flowing from the center of the night.
And if you close your eyes,
A river, a silent and beautiful current, fills you from within
Flows forward, darkens you
Night brings its wetness to beaches in your soul
