Deep Green Eyes

Down along the banks of the Good Fortune River I bumped into love but had nothing to give her I wasn't wearing boots so I give her my hat She sat there with her little black cat With her little black cat With her little black cat She'd been swimming her body was dripping I could feel the feet of my soul slipping Down the muddy banks to the water below Sometimes man you gotta let go You gotta let go You just gotta let go She gave me that look that melts many mountains Laughed a small laugh that cracked the sky If I was a bird I would bathe in her fountain If I was a fish I would drown in her deep green eyes She said I seen your kind before You enter through the window, exit through the door You tend to settle down as you're moving on You're the emperor and the knave of wands You're the knave of wands The knave of wands I said you'll notice that I lost my boots I left them back a ways among the destitute Help 'em walk a little further down the line I'm not wearing boots but my feet feel fine Oh my feet feel fine My feet feel fine She gave me that look that melts many mountains Laughed a small laugh that cracked the sky If I was a bird I would bathe in her fountain If I was a fish I would drown in her deep green eyes Sometimes it seems that the wind is free But only as free as the wind can be Other times it seems freedom's known Only to the stone and the stone alone The stone alone The stone alone Society is quick the individual to devour She took her spray paint to the water tower Love is beautiful, love is depraved She spray painted simply my love you're saved By love you're saved My love you're saved She gave me that look that melts many mountains Laughed a small laugh that cracked the sky If I was a bird I would bathe in her fountain If I was a fish I would drown in her deep green eyes
