Cover My Eyes (Pain And Heaven)

"Cover My Eyes (Pain and Heaven)" is the lead single from the 1991 album '' Holidays in Eden'' by British neo-progressive rock band Marillion. A straightforward pop song, it peaked at number 34 on the UK Singles Chart, but reached number 14 in the Netherlands, becoming the band's biggest hit there since " Kayleigh" (1985). The band performed on '' Top of the Pops'' on 6 June 1991, despite the song at the time being outside the top 40.

The B-side was the non-album track "How Can It Hurt". The 12-inch vinyl and 5-inch CD single included exactly the same tracks as the 7-inch and cassette single plus another track from ''Holidays in Eden'', "The Party".
