Emerald Eyes

Song lyrics: Emerald Eyes by Max Creek

I know that you’re waiting patiently
Yes, it seems like a waste of time, but still you wait for me
You understand that I can hold your hand and still be free

I held you once some time ago
Yes, it seems like it was your eyes I pulled through fired snow
Through the rain, through the pain that we still might go

I didn’t know it before, no
The power that you wield
But now I know that you’re the girl
Who’s turning in the field

Have you seen any signs of the girl we loved
Her hair was as dark as yours, her cry just like a dove
Used to hold her, used to mold her from above

But then you left in the hands of a stranger
And I knew that you’d never come back, and I would rearrange her
Took her down to the town but I could not change

I didn’t know it before, no
The power that you wield
But now I know that you’re the girl
Who’s turning in the field

There is an old man in the field
And he stands a teardrop falls in the grass where he had kneeled
Living lonely, living only for the end

As he places the rose he knows she’s there
He can taste her breath in the wind and feel her in the air
Like he told her, he would hold her once again

I didn’t know it before, no
The power that you wield
But now I know that you’re the girl
Who’s turning in the field
