Torn Green Velvet Eyes Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

You know the rain is gone 

When the sky is full of dust 

And the tears are gone 

When your eyes are red as rust 

And it just rains because it can 

And you just cry until you can't 

But I can feel my courage crumble 

And my heart just turns to ice 

When I see myself reflected 

In your torn green velvet eyes 

You know the night is gone 

When the sunlight burns your eyes 

And the cold is gone 

When the room is full of flies 

And it's all a waste of time 

If you try to change your mind 

And I can feel my courage crumble 

And my heart just turns to ice 

When I see myself reflected 

In your torn green velvet eyes 

But it's all a waste of time 

If you try to change your mind 

And I can feel my courage crumble 

And my heart just turns to ice 

When I see myself reflected 

In your torn green velvet eyes 

In your torn green velvet eyes 

In your [Incomprehensible] velvet eyes, eyes
