Story Behind the Song
Away from the family, looking at the lights reflected on the bay... with 9/11 on my mind I thought of lovers about to be separated by war.
Lyrics
There are lights along the harbor
reachin' for the evening sky
there is one looks like a teardrop
fallin' from clear blue eyes
Come and lay your face upon me
come and stay till dawn arrives
I will wipe away the sadness
fallin' from clear blue eyes
Clear blue eyes, do not worry
clear blue eyes, have no fear
I must go to be a soldier
and I will miss clear blue eyes
Take this coin, this piece of silver
on a chain to mark the time
if shadows fall upon your doorway
know we will meet, clear blue eyes
I hear my brother, he is calling
from the field as spirits rise
I see the battle flag has fallen
and I dream of clear blue eyes
Clear blue eyes, do not worry
clear blue eyes, have no fear
of the hour this time tomorrow
when I will miss clear blue eyes
Take this coin to wear upon you
til I return to clear blue eyes
