When she called my sneakers tennis shoes
i knew she was from the west coast,or the best coast,
like she say, and i had to disappear,
i fell in love with a ship, a vessel,
with at least 20 holes, yeah but she still floats,
i fell in love with the sea a brilliant tidal wave,
she devistated me,

come back home,
and bring those green eyes,
when are you coming home,.

i fell in love with a queen, a king,
who burnt my village down,
i paid her with love and taxes,
i fell in love with a street sign that told me where to go,
oh why do i go anywhere.

...come back home,
and bring those green eyes,
oh when are you coming home....
get back here,
cause baby these blue eyes,
are never as bright without you

.....and when i calle dyou in san fransisco,
i knew you had started a new life,
without me,
your only you, ....

and bring those green eyes,
when are you coming home,
get back here
because baby these blue eyes are never as bright without you,
when are you coming home

Kiss me again, rekiss me and kiss me
Slip your frigid hands beneath my shirt
This useless old fucker with his twinkling cunt
Doesn't care if he gets hurt

Green eyes, Green eyes
Green eyes, Green eyes

If it were but a matter of faith
If it were measured in petitions and prayer
She would materialise, all fleshed out
But it is not, nor do I care

Green eyes, Green eyes
Green eyes, Green eyes

So hold me and hold me, don't tell me your name
This morning will be wiser than this evening is
Then leave me to my enemied dreams
And be quiet as you are leaving, Miss

Green eyes...

Out the door, you wanna run again
Open your arms and you'll come back in
Wanna run cause you say your afraid, afraid

Never knew what a friendship was
Never knew how to really love
You can't be what I need you to
And I don't know why i fuck with you

I know our love will never be the same
But I can't stand the growing pains

[Based on the story of Gustavo Adolfo Becquer (Spanish poet 1836-1870)]

And old legend tells
A spirit of the devil dwells
In a lake beyond the trees
And I found my ruin in this place

Green eyes
Like a beam of the sun
That, swift, hides while it runs
Within the white foam
Green eyes
Your glance burned my chest
The desire of the quest
Of some eyes like those

Loneliness did filled my soul
And my mind they stole
I became drunk with its melancholy
When I saw her eyes in water

Green eyes
Like a beam of the sun
That, swift, hides while it runs
Within the white foam
Green eyes
Your glance burned my chest
The desire of the quest
Of some eyes like those

My course was her call
To her bed of emeralds
Waters jumped in glints of light
And then closed over my body

Green eyes
Like a beam of the sun
That, swift, hides while it runs
Within the white foam
Green eyes
Your glance burned my chest
The desire of the quest
Of some eyes like those

My eyes are green
Cause I eat a lot of vegetables
It don't have nothing to do with your new friend
My eyes are green
Cause I eat a lot of vegetables
It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

I don't care, I swear
I'm too thru with you I am
You don't mean nothing to me
So go ahead and be with your friend

My eyes are green
Cause I eat a lot of vegetables
It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

Cause I eat a lot of vegetables
It don't have nothing to do with your new friend
