Green Eyes Lyrics - Polly Jean Harvey

He called me magdalene 

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
