Stephin Merritt - Torn Green Velvet Eyes lyrics

You know the rain is gone when the sky is full of dust And the tears are gone when your eyes are red as rust And it just rains because it can and you just cry until you can't But I can feel my courage crumbling And my heart just turns to ice When I see myself reflected In your torn green velvet eyes You know the night is gone when the sunlight burns your eyes And the cold is gone when the room is full of flies And it's all a waste of time if you try to change your mind And it's all a waste of time if you try to change your mind
