Red House Painters


She's got big green eyes 
And a long Egyptian face 
She moves across the floor 
At her own pace 
When I'm here in bed 
She'll jump up on my chest 
And when we lock eyes there's so much love 
I wanna cry 

She comes in near 
When I scratch under her ear 
And she lifts her head 
When I kiss around her neck 

Won't go to sleep 
When she falls along my side 
And two green eyes fade 
To a porcelain marble white 
And somehow when I sleep 
She'll end up at my feet 
And if I roll and kick her out 
I might knock her to the ground 
But she'll come back anyhow 

Ella es muy vital 
más triste que salir el sol 
pura como el agua 
??? 

The morning comes
She squints up to shield out the sun
And she'll go and lay 
In the warmest dusty rays 
And I hold her face 
She lays perfectly in place 
And she'll yawn and stretch 
And stare me down expressionless 
And lay back down into her nest 

And if someone calls 
She'll race me out the hall 
When she hears the phone 
Then she knows I'm leaving home 
She don't wanna be alone 

And I know it's wrong 
That I'm going away so long 
And for her it's rough 
I can't be with her enough 
But I'll never give her enough 

Ella es muy vital 
más triste que salir el sol 
pura como el agua 
??? 

And somehow when I sleep 
She'll end up at my feet 
And if I roll and kick her out 
I might knock her to the ground
