Gray Green

Gray green - his baby’s eyes are gray green She closes them and sleep comes To carry her away He’s singing: noni, noni, noni Even though she’s long gone Down into his arms A siren is crying way off in the distance Calling her back to the world Outside, the midnight sky is clearing The Three Marias shine down And find her where she dreams So sweet, the breeze that stirs the curtains The breeze they send to tease Her hair across her eyes The siren climbs like a thief through the window Calling her back to the world He chooses, and asks them to forgive him The Three Marias winking, He pulls the window down Gray green - his baby’s eyes are gray green She closes them and sleep comes To carry her away
