I made this one for my girlfriend at the time, she has excellent eyes what can I say? When I was writing the lyrics I was looking for something to call her besides "girl" or something like that. My grandmas favourite movie and one of the only she owns (still on VHS) "Sound of Music" was playing in the background and someone said "Fräulein Maria" and a lightbulb went off "ahhh fräulein like as in to call a lady in German like as in I'm going to Berlin to finish this song, of course! It's all connected. I must find a place for that word." So anyways you can hear grandmas contribution right at the beginning of the 3rd verse.
lyrics
Lover
Stick with me and you’ll discover
Like the winter melt to summer
We were made to love eachother
This time
I can’t see anything past your eyes
Pink and yellow like the sunrise
Cuddle close and soon you’ll realise
Love comes through the eyes
Learn to love your lover and soon you’ll realise
Love comes through the eyes
I wanted to be
Just you and me
Spiritually and literally
Fraulein
When you’re gone it’s like a lifetime
The smell of cigarettes and sweet wine
I feel your stare reflect back into mine
Love comes through the eyes
Learn to love your lover and soon you’ll realise
Fly through the city garden
Or bring me high on a mountain
High on a cliff
Or any place where you’d be mine
Love comes through the eyes
Learn to love your lover and soon you’ll realise
Love comes through the eyes
Learn to love your lover and soon you’ll real
Love comes through the eyes
I wanted to be
Just you and me
Spiritually and literally
