Polly Jean Harvey - Green Eyes lyrics

rate me

So much my eyes have seen

Cleopatra

Would have wept for these of green

I watch the people leave

I walk this sorry town

When i saw him first

He was looking down

He called me magdalene

My sea queen

But he would not look

Into these eyes of green

When we were there alone

No one else around

When i returned to him

He was still looking down

I came, i witnessed

Followed, found

Returned, returned

He's still looking down

Still looking down

And the people leave

Leave this girl

Leave this girl

Leave this town

And still he dares

Dares not look at me

He's drawing circles in the ground
