Your Eyes Lyrics by Calvin Johnson

Before the Dream Faded...

2005

Your eyes, are they green or are they grey?
I was too startled to notice
When I had the chance to notice
Your bangs, all curly, brown
Cover your eyes half the time
The half the time I see them
They're looking deeply into mine
The half the time I see them
They have a bemused smile
A trace of why not now, why not
Why not why?
Your eyelashes, your eyebrows
Fluttering, knitted, or raised
They say more than words can relay
About the state of the you and the I
About the state of the you and the I
Your tear ducts, do they ever flow as freely
As the flow, as the inner glow, beaming?
Tear ducts streaming
Empty good luck meaning empty meaning good luck
You got me dreaming
You got me dreaming
You got me dreaming
Eyes that struggle
Eyes that argue
Eyes that box me in
Eyes that tingle
Eyes that shout
Eyes that crease my brow
Eyes so fleeting
Eyes that sigh
Eyes that bend
Got you in my system
Got you in my system
Got you in my system again
