Kershaw, Nik - Elizabeth's Eyes Lyrics

I get hints of howard Jones in this one

Why wasnt this a massive hit??????

With great respect, an old fan of you from budapest-Hungary.

Lyrics:

I told my tale with some words
From jail and a Bible vow
But fear and fury were my judge and
Jury so here I am now

There was a letter
A hundred letters
I wrote a letter
It said "Hey! Mr. President I hope
You're fit and strong"
And I hope you'll give me every
Chance to live because they've done me wrong

My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes
Love I will never have known
My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes
Alone

Still reeling I detect a feeling that I'm here to stay
Somebody locked me up
Somebody threw my key away

I got a letter
A single letter
I read the letter
It said "Hang in there boy
We are fighting for you still"
It was then I knew I really loved her too
I guess I always will

My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes
Love I will never have known
My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes
Alone

▪◇Music interlude◇▪

Another letter
The last letter
I wrote a letter
It said "Don't cry lady, you really shouldn't care"
Tuesday at seven I will find my heaven and I'll see you there

My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes
Love I will never have known
My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes
Alone
{My hope lies in Elizabeths eyes chorus repeats till the end}

'Tuesday at seven, I will find my heaven'

Wasn't as successful as his more well-known chart hits, but this is a beautiful, beautiful song.
One of my favourite songwriters of all time. Been a huge fan since his debut.

Quality song and album still

One of my fav from nik!! ❤

It's tough to find a song when you can't figure out the lyrics.

"My home lies in a lizard of size" -- no Google results...

Well they call the Queen Elizabeth as Lizzie the Lizard (for a good reason)

It's crazy that this song flopped and lead to Kershaw ending his career as a performer, it's pure poetry, the true story of a man on death row writing love letters to a pen pal he fell for as she fought to prove his innocence. A truly amazing and touching song.

once a nk fan always a nk fan..... I have been a fan since forever xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Underrated!

Nik! Come and make a concert in america please ! I want to go really bad ! I love all your music ! Thanks for sharing your talent with the world !;)

I love that song so much! Even if I'm really young I counted 29 songs in my music library

Nik looks like Dave Mustaine in this song.

Kidwaryod Production LOL!

LOLOL you're right

just amazing..thank you..

Never knew that there's such a sad story behind this song when I started listening to this song as a teenager. My thoughts go out to Willie Darden.

nik you've definitely aged gracefully mang, i loved your music back then when i was in junior high and i still enjoy it to the fullest after 30 and whatnot years, it's damn good to see you alive, well and kickin' <3

Hi Nick! I'm a huge fan of yours in the states, your music is great. I just got Eight and I love it. Great melodies.

Hey Nick, thanks for posting this and thanks for choosing such a clear sounding version: I can really hear the voices/voicings and drums very clearly. Incredible tune! Incredible chords!!!

tudo de bom maravilhoso

My favorite artist of all time.....the most under appreciated of his albums (The Works) but clearly his worst look :). Love the song though!
