Green Eyes Crying Lyrics by Paula Cole

Lo

2024

[Verse 1]
I am running away from all the noise
To the forest, to a low and plaintive voice
To the river, like Narcissus I see my reflection
[Chorus]
Green eyes crying, green eyes crying
Crying mercy
[Verse 2]
I have chosen to love a lonely man
A Bodhisattva, an ivory tower of intelligence
He wants me, but he wants more than I can give
[Chorus]
Green eyes crying, green eyes crying
Crying mercy
[Bridge]
I wanted to love again
I prayed for another chance
The kindness, the kindnеss within a glance
An angel alighting in my hands
He givеs himself so completely to me
All I have is my defense
It's up to me
And will I be the enemy of love?
[Verse 3]
I am losing between my life and love
All I hold dear is challenged by a choice
To lay naked at the altar of another
Or stay the steady plough of work
The stoic solitude
Do I choose to love and lose?
I choose love, yes I do
[Chorus]
Green eyes crying, green eyes crying
Green eyes crying, green eyes crying
Oh, green eyes crying, the green eyes crying
Crying mercy
