God's Golden Eye

God’s Golden Eye - John Hiatt

We came through the forest
Of jealousy and greed
All our loved ones before us
They gave us everything we need
To cross that great river
Of every tear been ever cried
And we find ourselves staring
In God's golden eye

In the desert love waited
Licking salt water from her skin
We could have been sedated
For all that we put in
We thought it was some devil
Who put the cryin’ in goodbye
’til we found ourselves staring
In God's golden eye
Found ourselves staring
In God's golden eye

And we did all that we could do
We couldn't run from me and you
We did the best we could
No matter how hard we tried

Like babes we come whining
For some forgotten sin
Surprised to be shining
Just like diamonds in the wind
Every facet so perfect
And every cut the proper size
When we find ourselves staring
In God's golden eye
Find ourselves staring
In God's golden eye
