DESCRIPTION:
This song is from Adrienne Young & Little Sadie's "Plow to the End of the Row" album. I liked the word picture of walking from gravel to gold.
The lyrics:
Her Eyes Were Watching God

To prey upon a kind and generous heart
To turn away from and leave a mark
To go too far just to make youself feel better
But you could not steal her song

Her eyes were watching god
Never felt any pain at all
From gravel to gold she walks
Shes not long for this world
Shes not long for this

To plant the smallest seed
That bears the bitterest fruit
To still believe the sweetest truth
Hold up the lie till the sun shines through it
Dont you let them steal your song

Your eyes are watching god
No need to feel any shame at all
From gravel to gold we walk
Youre not long for this world
Youre not long for this

Moving towards the light
Peace follows the fight

Our eyes are watching god
No need to feel any pain at all
From gravel to gold we walk
Were not long for this world
Were not long for this
