"Anastasia's Eyes" lyrics - DAN FOGELBERG

There's thorns on the cactus tree, there's thorns on the rose
There's thorns in the heart of me that nobody knows
They tear at the flesh until the tears start to rise
They form in my heart but they fall from Anastasia's eyes
And I was lost in the wilderness without courage or hope
I was setting my signal fires and watching the smoke
When out of the smoke appeared the sweetest surprise
And I knew I'd been found when first I looked into Anastasia's eyes
There's thorns on the cactus tree, there's thorns on the rose
There's thorns in the heart of me, that nobody knows
But finally I've found out where my salvation lies
It lies in the love that lives in Anastasia's eyes
It lies in the love that lives in Anastasia's eyes
