"Green Eyes" lyrics

Coming home with green eyes
That shadow my heart in ways I'd never intend
Reminding me love will define me in the end
So I'm waiting on a friend

Why do I feel broken from the start?
Why does hope still hide here inside this crazy heart?

Time, it winds you up, and shoots you down
Anyhow

No-one can hear you talking
The words just wash away on the tide
Love was a dream, and we dreamed it for a while
Then we blew it in style

Why do I feel broken from the start?
Why does hope still hide here inside this crazy heart?

On daisy chains of hope
We aimed our sails at brave tomorrows
We tasted wine
And went to find a path our hearts could follow

It seems very clear tonight
Anyhow

I wanted to say, "I'll always be there
I'll always be at your side"
My pages are torn
But you're reading them right

I'm begging the question of what is to be
I only ever reply
We're all leaves on the wind, it takes us for a ride
But I'm coming home with green eyes

Why do I feel broken from the start?
Why does hope still hide here inside this crazy heart?

Days have changed
And bells that chime a path towards tomorrow
Just say, "Yes, I believe you
Thanks for the dream you let me borrow"
