Terra Lightfoot Emerald Eyes song lyrics

Must have passed by you one hundred times before

Fresh from the coast, this city can't hold you no more

Got a face for the movies, a smile for a silver screen

Oh emerald eyes, you're stuck here inbetween

Came through the back gate, the patio talk too loud

Some time past midnight, we lost track of those in the background

Shoulder to shoulder, the patio empty and still

Oh emerald eyes, if you want me to I will

Get in the taxi and drive around our fair steel town

Stand in the kitchen and those four walls are spinnin' around

You had a lover, I think I've seen her around

But you keep your lips tied and hoping that I won't find out

This gets older and older each time your lips shape the excuse

But emerald eyes, it's nice to be with you

Oh emerald eyes, it's nice to be with you
