about

Many people, especially over here in Scandinavia, ask me why I moved from beautiful, sunny Santa Monica, California to Sweden. Well, the main culprit is the subject of this song...

lyrics

IN MY VERA’S EYES
(Strider)
I’ve seen down, and I’ve seen blue
Empty feeling, hopeless too
Life and laughter so far away
Like a sunset fading behind the rain

In My Vera’s Eyes the sun burst through
My poor heart was healed, my strength renewed
It’s nothing short of miraculous
In My Vera’s Eyes I can rest
I’ve been blessed

She’s got eyes so deep and pure
In just one look, completely sure
That this was right, that this was true
That this was what I was supposed to do

In My Vera’s Eyes the stars sing out
The cosmos swirls and the guardian angels shout
It’s nothing short of miraculous
In My Vera’s Eyes I can rest
I’ve been blessed

Now love’s lightening strikes
Maybe once or twice in these lonely lives we live
The soul cries out from an inward space
And knows when it’s right
And oh it’s so right___

In My Vera’s Eyes the sun burst through
My poor heart was healed, my strength renewed
It’s nothing short of miraculous
In My Vera’s Eyes I can rest
I’ve been blessed
It’s nothing short of miraculous
