Green Eyes lyrics

I long for you, like storm clouds long to destroy transmission towers Like a hurricane longing to scatter high voltage lines through a small town I long for you, like rays and lightning long to destroy cabins and trees Like a tropical rain longing to flood shores and mothers eyes We slow dance under a black and white sky There’s no way I will forget your hand in mine My quill pen is withering in the sunlight My blood is thin, I'll fade in front of your green eyes I fear for you, like the eyes of a child weeping amidst the war Like the fire fears the ice cold water swashing from a fireman's hose I fear for you, like nuclear weapons fear diplomacy and democracy Like the earth fears the crescent warmth bestowed by human contradiction We slow dance under a black and white sky There’s no way I will forget your hand in mine My quill pen is withering in the sunlight My blood is thin, I'll fade in front of your green eyes After the chaos comes Bonanza After the flood leaves the town After we dance ‘till we're drowned After your green eyes, Bonanza I long for you, like my open chest longs to be struck by lightning After the chaos comes Bonanza After the flood leaves the town After we dance ‘till we're drowned After your green eyes, Bonanza
