Anastasia's Eyes
I am friends with Anastasia on FB and she told me that her eyes are blue-green so now we know what Dan was singing about in this song
This song is on Dan Fogelberg's album "The Wild Places" released in 1990 - I have this CD
Dan Fogelberg was married to his 2nd wife Anastasia from 1991-1996
This is a picture of Dan Fogelberg and Anastasia

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

~~~ Dan Fogelberg ~~~
