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
