I am running, away from all the noise To the forest, to a low and plaintive voice To the river, like Narcissus I see my reflection Green eyes crying, green eyes crying Crying mercy I have chosen to love a lonely man A Bodhisattva, an ivory tower of intelligence He wants me but he wants more than I can give Green eyes crying, green eyes crying Crying mercy I wanted to love again I prayed for another chance The kindness, the kindness within a glance An angel, alighting in my hands He gives himself so completely to me All I have is my defense It's up to me (Will I be the enemy of love?) I am losing, between my life and love All I hold dear is challenged by a choice To lay naked, at the altar of another Or stay the steady plough of work The stoic solitude Do I choose to love and lose? I choose love, yes I do Green eyes crying, green eyes crying Green eyes crying, green eyes crying Green eyes crying, green eyes crying Crying mercy
