(a) Love Song

I love your eyes when you look away 

Thinking somewhere else of what ought to be 

When they're suddenly blue for a moment of time 

Then the color goes when you look at me 

I love your hands as a part of you 

As they write a word just by staying still 

When you talk they move, painting what you say 

So I understand more than words can tell 

I love your hair in the dark it's soft 

In the light it moves, red and green are brown 

All the time it takes for a night to pass 

And a lifetime grows as the day comes down 

I love you now as you don't love me 

I can't let you know you're too far away 

But I wonder now just what did you see 

When you looked at me in that loveless way
