Tim Patterson - Emerald Eyes

I could not be closer to peace in my time
When I look in those Emerald Eyes
I could not be further from biting the dust
When I lay down beside you tonight

You're my one piece of heaven
My one piece of hell
My spirit my truth and my prize
I could skim on the sea like a bird on the wind
And be caught in those Emerald Eyes

I once met a sailor who lived by the shore
Who's stories held me mesmerized
Don't fear the mermaids or angels of gold
Just the one with the Emerald Eyes

So hold me forever and don't let me go
So my heart and my soul never dies
I could drown in a stream
I could fly in a dream
But I'll die in those Emerald Eyes

In a bar by the harbour, I drank a few beers
'Til my head and my legs paralyzed
I fell to the floor in a heap by the door
At the feet of those Emerald Eyes

She gathered me up and she took me away
And she whispered a word to the wise
I'll never forget those few words that she said
Don't fuck with those Emerald Eyes
