From Wikipedia:
Final Eyes is a song by Yes. It appears on the 1987 Big Generator album. The song appears to have never released as a single, but reached position #20 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in the '80s. It appeared on the first four shows of the Big Generator tour exclusively.
Jon Anderson and Trevor Rabin exchange lead vocals on this song.
On the album
The song, along with Shoot High, Aim Low and I'm Running, is often considered to be the saving grace of the album by original-period Yes fans, who generally dislike Big Generator for being "too poppy." The song is the third longest on the album, clocking in at just under six and a half minutes. Of the longer songs on the album, it is the most poppy.
In the live setting
The song was only played on the first four shows of the Big Generator tour. Including the announcements before the song itself begins, the track runs for 9 minutes 10 seconds on audience recording from November 14, 1987. In these four performances, the song lasted for between seven and eight minutes. It was the fifth song played in sequence in these shows.
Since then, the song has never been played live. No live versions have been officially released
Lyrics:
Person to person woman to man
Sing me a story to reach me
Teach me to teach me to understand
All these emotions I miss you
So you leave her
Can't believe her
Can't escapse
Final eyes
Final eyes
Person to person woman to man
Send me this song that will teach me
Like a river without a stream
Night time without dreaming
Send me this song that will reach me
So you leave me
Can't deceive me
See through me
Final eyes
Final eyes
And I know you think there's nothing
There's nothing more to say
And I know that I've got something
I've got something to say
If ever I needed someone
You were there when I needed you
If ever I needed someone
You were there when I needed you
If ever I needed someone
You were there when I needed you
Person to person woman to man
Send me this song that will teach me
Like a river without a stream
Night time without dreaming
Send me this song that will reach me
So you leave me
Can't deceive me
See through me
Final eyes
And I know you think there's nothing
There's nothing more to say
Don't hide behind the headlines oh yea
I've got something to say
If ever I needed someone
You were there when I needed you
If ever I needed someone
You were there when I needed you
Whenever I needed
Whenever I needed
Whenever I needed
Someone
If ever I needed
Whenever I needed someone
You were there when I needed you
You saved me from falling
Saved me from falling
I'm so in love with you
