Gray Green
Gray green - his baby's eyes are gray greenShe closes them and sleep comesTo carry her awayHe's singing: noni, noni, noniEven though she's long goneDown into his armsA siren is crying way off in the distanceCalling her back to the worldOutside, the midnight sky is clearingThe Three Marias shine downAnd find her where she dreamsSo sweet, the breeze that stirs the curtainsThe breeze they send to teaseHer hair across her eyesThe siren climbs like a thief through the windowCalling her back to the worldHe chooses, and asks them to forgive himThe Three Marias winking,He pulls the window downGray green - his baby's eyes are gray greenShe closes them and sleep comesTo carry her away From Letras Mania
