The Magnetic Fields - Torn Green Velvet Eyes lyrics

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 crumbling

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 it's all a waste of time if you try to change your mind
